Crane

Jawbreaker
(album: Unfun)

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 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 tower´s tall.
But tall ain´t all.
You can rise above,
But it´s that much further you must fall.

Life´s a race I can´t run.
You curse the man who fired the gun.
Concrete socks and cement shoes.
The race was fixed I´m gonna lose it.
There´s 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.
No one 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 positive creep.
Reality my soul do keep.
Living on the brighter side.
Living only half a life.
I keep my feet tied to the ground.
I let my head go wander ´round.
