Crack-Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So the mind won't lie And the arm won't set And the bright red eye Isn't off you yet So the words won't come And the hand won't touch And a midnight sun Doesn't look like much As an iris contracts Facing the day (I can tell you've cracked Like a china plate.) [Iceberg] [Verse 2] When the world insists That the false is so With a philippic, as Cicero "The tighter the fist The looser the sand" [If I don't resist Will I understand?] Ooh, ooh, ooh [A bright clearing] [Verse 3] All things change Dividing tides Far as I can see All fades through But a (light / lie) of you As Eellllyyaaalliiiiiyyy [Outro] All I see– Dividing tides– Rising over me–– [Exit]
