The Nits - Cranedriver lyrics

It's early in the morning He's climbing up The ladder to the top of his crane He's smoking a cigarette In his co*kpit of gla** Looks down, the town's still asleep Peter and I were walking Along the long can*l We could smell the factory smoke Dirty filling station We arranged the row of cans Till they said so (so so so so) Cranedriver, lift me up Put me in my past Cranedriver, lift me up Cranedriver, lift me up Put me in my past Cranedriver, lift me up Now Peter's building houses I'm a keeper of records Both of '51 The cranedriver's climbing down Every step a year It takes him twenty to the ground Cranedriver, lift me up Put me in my past Cranedriver, lift me up Cranedriver, lift me up Put me in my past Cranedriver, lift me up
