Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up lyrics
[Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up lyrics]
So the mind won't lie and the arm won't set
And the bright red eye isn't off you yet
So the words won't come
And the hand won't touch and a midnight sun
Doesn't look like much as an iris contracts
Facing the day
(I can tell you've cracked
Like a china plate)
When the world insists that the false is so
With a philippic, as Cicero
"The tighter the fist the looser the sand"
If I don't resist will I understand?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
All things change dividing tides
Far as I can see all fades through
But a (light lie) of you
As Eellllyyaaalliiiiiyyy
All I see– dividing tides– rising over me––
And the bright red eye isn't off you yet
So the words won't come
And the hand won't touch and a midnight sun
Doesn't look like much as an iris contracts
Facing the day
(I can tell you've cracked
Like a china plate)
When the world insists that the false is so
With a philippic, as Cicero
"The tighter the fist the looser the sand"
If I don't resist will I understand?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
All things change dividing tides
Far as I can see all fades through
But a (light lie) of you
As Eellllyyaaalliiiiiyyy
All I see– dividing tides– rising over me––
