They Might Be Giants - They'll Need a Crane lyrics

Love sees love's happiness
But happiness can't see that love is sad
That love is sad

Sadness is hanging there
To show love somewhere something
Needs a change they need a change

They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart to help him start
To see a world apart from pain

Lad's gal is all he has
Gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad
The love of lad some things gal says to lad
Aren't meant as bad but cause a little pain
They cause him pain

They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart to help him start
To see a world apart from pain

Don't call me at work again
No, no, the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore
And there's a restaurant we should check out
Where the other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people baby wait
I didn't mean to say nightmare

Lad looks at other gals
Gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad
He isn't bad call off the wedding band
Nobody wants to hear that one again
Play that again

They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart to help him start
To see a world apart from pain

They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
They'll need a crane they'll need a crane
