"The Crab" lyrics

"The Crab"

Oh no, no, no, no
And I'm watching her die
On my TV
And the daddy cries
How could it be
And it could be you
And it could be me
Child full of giving
Child full of hoping

Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run

This is where you've never been
And maybe one day you'll follow me
Look ok on the outside
Dead on the inside
And there's nothing to win
Ain't no disease
Child full of giving
Child full of giving
Yes you were
Child full of hoping
Lying, dying, dead
Child full of hoping
But now it's gone
And you run

Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
