The Hold Steady - Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? lyrics

He sits in your room, his tomb with a fist full of tacks Preoccupied with his vengeance Cursing the dead that can't answer him back You know that he has no intentions Of looking your way unless it's to say That he needs you to test his inventions Babe, come, crawl out your window Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you How can you say he will haunt you? You can go back to him anytime you want to He looks so truthful, is this how he feels? When I try to peel the moon and expose it With his businesslike anger and his bloodhounds that kneel Yeah, if he needs a third eye he just grows it He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk Or pick it up after he throws it Babe, please crawl out your window Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you Now how you gonna say that he will haunt you? When you could go back to him anytime you want to He look so righteous while your face is so changed As you sit on the box that you keep him on While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange Religion of the little ten women That backs up their views and their face is so bruised Come on out, the dark is just beginning Babe, please come out your window Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you How can you say that he will haunt you? When you can go back to him anytime you want to You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window Yeah, a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window Come on, please come out your window You got a lot of nerve Yeah, you got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window Come on, please come out your window Oh, please come out your window
