The Northern Pikes - Crocodile Tears lyrics

I wore a red shirt when she blew into town Trepidation, to see if she'd notice this thorn-thistle crown She bought me drinks and her valor was fair Her long black wings flapped up into the air She flew into the air A golden frown, it made a sound Like falling crystals on a gla**-plated house And covers up the sun, daylight after day To dust clouds I pray Rain crocodile tears And wash the grief away She said "In my past life I was burned at the stake I paid a big price for one very little but foolish mistake" I said "You're kidding, or I hope that you are To screw up twice in two different lives is truly bizarre" A golden frown, it makes a sound Like falling crystals on a gla**-plated house And covers up the sun, daylight after day To dust clouds I pray Rain crocodile tears And wash the grief away She was a good friend 'til she left me for good She denied knowing me She denied loving me like I knew she would A golden frown, it made a sound Like falling crystals on a gla**-plated house And covers up the sun, daylight after day To dust clouds I pray Rain crocodile tears And wash the grief away
