Sudden Oak Death

[Verse 1]

Lose a little feeling in my fingers

Gain an edge of panic in my face

Search for some sign to tell me just how long I've been here

Overturn the place

Feels like each time my efforts fail

The whole hillsides disapprove

Feel like a man whose veins have frozen overnight

Lying there trying to move

[Chorus]

Yeah, when the crack sounds in the wood

You will know that I'm down for good

When the crack sounds in the wood

You will know, old friend, that I'm down for good

[Verse 2]

I want to try to stand my ground

Dig my heels into the hills

Hope someone will come to right my balance

No one will

Feels like when I try to stretch my legs

Everyone around me's trying too

So ready just to fall down, just to fall down

And to stay down

I don't want to spoil the view

[Chorus]

Yeah, when the crack sounds in the wood

You will know that I'm down for good

When the crack sounds in the wood

You will know, old friend, that I'm down for good
