counting crows – a murder of one (1994/live at elysée montmartre, paris) lyrics

blue morning, blue morning
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
curiousity, little kitten
doesn’t have to mean you’re on your own
cause you look outside your window
he doesn’t have to know
we can talk a while baby
we can take it nice and slow

all your life, is such a shame, shame, shame
all your love, is just a dream, dream, dream

well are you happy where you’re sleeping?
does he keep you safe and warm?
does he tell you when you’re sorry?
does he tell you when you’re wrong, wrong?
well, i’ve been watching you for hours
it’s been years since we were born
we were perfect when we started
well i’ve been wondering where we’ve gone

all your life, is such a shame, shame, shame
all your love, is just a dream, dream, dream

well, i dreamt i saw you walkin’
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy
three for girls, four for boys
five for silver, six for gold
seven for a secret never ever to be told

well there’s a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
oh no, but when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you’d let me in

all your life, is such a shame, shame, shame
all your love, is just a dream, dream, dream
open up your eyes, you can see the flames, flames, flames
of your wasted life, you should be ashamed
should be ashamed, should be ashamed
don’t waste your life like i’ve wasted mine
don’t, don’t, don’t waste your life
the way i waste my life
no, no, cuz you don’t want to waste your life
the way i waste my life
you don’t want to waste your life
the way i waste my life
it’s a shame
change
change
change
change
i’m hanging on
you’re all that’s left to hold onto
well i’m hanging on
cuz you’re all that’s left to hold onto-to-to
well i’m hanging on
cuz you’re all that’s left to hold onto
well i’m hanging on
there’s n-body left to hold onto
except for you

well, there are jaguars in mexico
yeah, that’s farther south than i’ll ever go
and my life, my life is filled with squirrels
10 million beautiful girls
h-llo my sweet orangutan
doris day is on tv again
well, i apologize for everything
h-llo my sweet orangutan

well, there are guns in north dakota
and there are girls in minnesota
yeah, and i would ride you like a mustang
if i could keep my eyes open
yeah, and i would, and i would
ride you like a mustang
if i could keep my eyes awake again
and i would ride you like a mustang, babe
if i could keep my eyes open

“can’t you see how to open my eyes” she said
“and i can’t seem to open my eyes” she said
“and i can’t seem to open my eyes” she said
“and i can’t seem to open my eyes”

well, h-llo my sweet orangutan
doris day is on tv again
i apologize for everything
h-llo my sweet orangutan

sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry
sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry
i’m sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry now
i’m sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry now
i’m sorry now

i’m sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry now
i’m sorry, i’m sorry now
now, dad, i’m sorry
i’m sorry now
i’m sorry now, i’m sorry now
well, i’ll wait for you in baton rouge
and i’ll miss you down in new orleans
and i’ll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
and i’ll wait for you while i’m slipping in between
and if you wrap yourself in daffodils
i will wrap myself up in change
and oh, and if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king of the rain
and oh, and if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
and oh, and if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king, i’m the king, i’m the king
i’m the king of the rain

well, i was wasted in the afternoon
i was waiting on a train
sitting down in the tall brush, she said “i’d be back again”
well, i wish you were inside of me
i hope that you’re okay
that’s just something i wanted to say, goodnight
oh, i said, goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight goodnight
i said, goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight
goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight
well if you’re the queen of california
i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king of, i’m the king of
i’m the king of the rain
well i’m the king of the rain
well i’m the king of the rain
well i’m the king of the rain
well, we couldn’t all be cowboys
so some of us are clowns
we walk along the midway
ride from town to town, ride from town
ride from town to town
ride from town to town
well i hope that everybody can find a little flame
hope that everybody can find a little flame
me, i walk out on the wild
light myself on fire
step out over the shoes of everybody else
once and again, goodnight elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight
i said, now, goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight
i said, now, goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight
i said, goodnight, elizabeth, goodnight, goodnight

well, i’ll wait for you in baton rouge
i miss you down in new orleans
i wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
you wait for me while i’m slipping in between
and if you wrap yourself in daffodils
well, i’ll wrap myself in change

and if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
if you’re the queen of california, baby
i’m the king of the rain
and if you’re the queen of california, baby, baby, baby, baby
i’m the king of the rain
well, i’m the king of the rain
well i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king of the rain
i’m the king of the rain
oh yeah
