Crane Lyrics

Takes a crane to pick me up, a twenty gallon coffee cup
A metal flag to move my brow, indelible's my color now
Forever is the time it takes, to get me going can you wait?
I'll be along now any year, progress slowed by heightened fear

I got a broken crown, I went from king to clown
Don't think i'm down, a fool's got so much less to lose
I see your towers tall, but tall ain't all
You can rise above but it's that much further you must fall

Life's a race that I can't run, I curse the man who fired the gun
Concrete socks and cement shoes, the race was fixed i'm gonna lose it
There's a danger in a desperate man, watch yourself i'm panicking
I know my time is almost done, it's now or never - never comes

We're young yet, too young to regret it
I see you play it safe, if you had a dime I bet you wouldn't bet it
Well that's cool, what's advice from a fool
Just hear me out, this is what i'm all about...

Twenty-one in need of fun, growing old
In a band to understand, a fucked up world
Twenty-two it could be through, enlist now
Noone knows where it is going but it's up from down

Could well be i'm full of shit, saying 'never' guarantees it
Still i'm not some posi-creep, reality my soul do keep
Living on the brighter side, like living only half a life
I keep my feet tied to the ground, I let my head go wander 'round
