Lyrics
I saw the shadow of a crow as it dove for me
but I have no desire to harm its children
and it perches up there like everyone cares
and everybody has a vendetta
I saw the shadow of her body on the sidewalk
and it moved by me like memories of a dream
I don't know why I'll make this a problem
When I already have problems I ignore
The lights were playing tricks upon the harbour
and a young woman asleep upon the bench
I don't know why we chase after trouble
when there are so many troubles we ignore
take the thorn from out my side
burn out the sour love I hide
give us all just a little more time
The scent of paint still hangs in this apartment
there's one room with a mattress in the corner
Some lonely souls passed through before I came here
I wonder what they did with all the silence
I don't know why I'll make this a problem
when there are so many problems I ignore
we let our debts go climbing through the ceiling
and walk around with chains upon our ankles
The latest war gives us a new distraction
and some talking points they sell to us like opium
I don't know why we try to create trouble
when we live in so much trouble everyday
The shadow of the moon now lays upon us
and the earth waits for a day when we are gone
when everything we touch turns to ashes
please give us just a little more time
