Song: They ll Need a Crane
Album: Lincoln
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 mean t as bad but cause a little pain
they cause him pain
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Don t call me at work again, oh 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
