"A Murder Of Crows" lyrics

Old blind crow with a broken wing
Laying on the ground is a poor sad thing
Now back when pharaohs army got drowned
A murder of crows was hanging 'round

Magpies, ravens and a parliament of owls
Rooks and crooks and a dog that growls
Northeast of Santa Fe's dirty little sister
Bell Laboratory thought up the transistor

Now some things happen you just can't explain
Like Abel being killed by his brother Cain
Life bucks and snorts and kicks pretty hard
So it's okay to believe in tarot cards

Being broken flesh and blood beats not being
And don't hold it in if you need to be peeing
Now you got to grow old with determination
And I heard good things about meditation

Being lost in the dark is terrifying
Writin' Can't Get No Satisfaction got to be satisfying
Being cool is cool but you can't eat it

Life's gonna end nobody gonna cheat it
You know you can't buy a used cemetery plot
If you got what it takes it'll take everything you got
