lyrics

Crossed the ocean all alone
Sitting on a crooked throne
From the air I see the shore
I know I've seen this place before

Leaned against her wailing wall
My mother waves me down the hall
Thought I'd died in a city street
But death could never smell so sweet

Weighed down by my anxious mind
How did I fall so behind
Four directions, blocked by walls
Solace in a bathroom stall

Working days and whiny songs
Two months never felt so long
Went to sleep in black and white
Woke up one day and saw the light

Crooked smiles won't last you in life, but won't leave easily
And crooked bones await you in time if you refuse to see
Just lay down your arms and wait,
We're gonna leave the Keystone State soon
Where crooked lines will guide us alone, and do so faithfully

Across the ocean, we have grown
Toppled from our crooked thrones
Driving home, we see the shore
I know I've seen this place before
