The Battered Ornaments - The Crosswords and the Safety-Pins lyrics

Now I'm crying in the sunshine and I'm laughing in the rain 'cause I won't pick your body anymore and you won't pick my brain When you hear midnight calling you're awake on your own through the streets full of statues although their hearts are pure stone When the crosswords and the safety-pins solve themselves and close for the night maybe we'll get things together or we're gonna put the dark right Now I'm sad in the sunlight and I'm laughing in the dark You won all the great battles with your last fully loaded remark When you hear distant tigers to their lairs you must go Long white hands in your pockets though your heart black as snow When the crosswords and the safety-pins solve themselves and close for the night maybe we'll get things together we're gonna put the dark right Now I'm whispering like a jetplane and I'm roaring like a mouse who, when life left me with the papers, has carried off the house When your hear sportscars singing [all the way] down the road all the darkness is crying on the gra** newly-mowed The crosswords and the safety-pins The crosswords and the safety-pins solved themselves and closed for the night and maybe we'll get things together we're gonna put the dark right
