Fortress of solitude

[codeerror]

I have a place down in the city
with a bed and a icehockey game
and some dishes, faithfully waiting
I have a crow on the rooftop, he does as he wants
He flies away whenever there's too much problems

We have bad days, and a beat-up old car
Like a lover that never let go
I have nights that are too long, in a bed that's a little to short
But Im free, free, free
Like the crow on the rooftop

We have sharpened senses, retreats for everything
We have hangovers we wanna forget
But when everything fails,
and the answering machine answers wrong
We sit here at home in silence, the crow and I


I have a sweater from a guy that left because I didnt come
Sometimes I've asked him if he wants to come back
I can ask on my knees, but he knows I have a life sentence, sounding
Free, free, free
Like the crow on the rooftop


I have a walkman thats too slow, and a watch that's too fast
I have a pair of new shoes that squeaks
I have a shirt that's to little, with a stain that won't go away
But Im Free, free, free
Like the crow on the rooftop
