[00:04.02]The Cribs - Be Safe
[00:06.25]
[00:11.68]One of those fucking awful black days when nothing is pleasing
[00:15.73]And everything that happens is an excuse for anger
[00:18.52]An outlet for emotions stockpiled
[00:21.42]An arsenal , an armor
[00:23.97]These are the days when I hate the world
[00:26.39]Hate the rich,hate the happy, hate the complacent
[00:30.70]The tv watchers, beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
[00:34.56]Because I know I can be all those little hateful things
[00:37.69]And then I hate myself for realizing that
[00:41.23]There is no preventative, directive, or safe approach for living
[00:44.84]We each know our own faith
[00:47.02]We know from our youth how to be treated
[00:48.88]And how we'll be received and how we shall end
[00:51.56]These things don't change
[00:53.30]You can change your clothes, change your hairstyle
[00:55.79]Your friends, cities, continents
[00:57.96]But sooner or later your old self will always catch up

[01:18.78]Walls of gray
[01:20.46]Nothing good on the radio
[01:22.08]Not a thought in my head
[01:23.45]
[01:23.94]I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that you'll wish you were dead
[01:34.96]Let's take life and slow it down incredibly slow (I know a place we can go)
[01:37.81]Frame by frame (when you'll fall in )
[01:39.39]Like two minutes that take ten years to live out (love so hard that)
[01:42.75]Yeah, let's do that (you'll wish you were dead)
[01:45.21]
[01:47.26]Telephone poles like praying mantis against the sky
[01:50.43]Metal arms outstretched
[01:52.36]So much land traveled, so little sense made of it
[01:55.85]It doesn't mean a thing all this land laying out behind us
[01:58.96]I'd like to take off into these woods and get good and lost for a while
[02:03.06]I'm disgusted with petty concerns - parking tickets, breakfast specials
[02:07.74]Does someone just have to carry this weight?

[02:39.67]The light within me shines like a diamond mine
[02:42.60]Like an unarmed walrus
[02:44.09]Like a dead man face down on the highway
[02:46.58]Like a snake eating its own tail
[02:48.82]A steam turbine
[02:50.25]Frog pond
[02:51.30]Too-full closet burst open in disarray

[03:14.23]I've seen your hallway
[03:16.47]You're a dark hallway
[03:18.02]I hear your stairs creak
[03:19.95]I can fix my mind on your yes and your no
[03:23.81]I'll feel your face today in the sparkling canal
[03:27.29]All red, yellow, blue-green brilliance and silver Dutch reflection
[03:31.77]Racing thoughts
[03:33.08]Racing thoughts all too real
[03:34.76]You're moving so fast now I can't hold your image
[03:37.55]This image I have of your face by the window
[03:40.23]Me standing beside you
[03:41.60]Arm on your shoulder
[03:42.90]A catalog of images, flashing glimpses
[03:45.14]Then dawn again
[03:46.76]Untethered to this post you've sunk in me
[03:49.06]Every clear afternoon now I'll think of you up in the air
[03:52.30]Twisting your heel and your knees up around me
[03:54.91]My face in your hair
[03:56.65]You scream so well
[03:58.08]Your smile so loud
[03:59.89]Still rings in my ears
