Run to the end

Run to the end of the pier
See how the crows are all

Darker than night

Blacker than skies in the summer

If this is my time

Pistons will grind to a halt
I lie upon the ground

It wouldn't be long

Till circles would form in the sky

And if the crows come down tonight

Pick off your clothes in the pale light

Have you said all you needed to say?

Under my feet

Under my feet, I can hear her
Prophesizing

So come closer, closer than that

Yeah, come on, blackbirds

Come closer, closer than that

And if the crows come down tonight

Pick off your clothes in the pale light

With their hearts set on our pretty eyes

All I need to say
