Slim Cessna's Auto Club Raven
Raven in the trees
Says, "You left me.
You'll be with me only in my dream."
I'd speak to you kindly
But they've taken off my mouth
And put it in an oak chest
That was locked inside your house.
Don't care.
You can ask the Blackbird where.
You can ask the Blackbird where.
Raven in the trees
Says, "You left me.
You'll be with me only in my dream."
I'd bathe you with my tears
But they've stolen off my eyes
And put them in a mask
You've made as your disguise.
What now?
You can ask the Blackbird how.
You can ask the Blackbird how.
Raven in the trees
Says, "You left me.
You'll be with me only in my dream."
I'd give you shiny pennies
Well to buy a little bread
But they've broken all my bones
Made a bowl out of my head.
I'd warn you with my hands
But they've taken off my skin
And made a leather purse
Yeah, to keep your pleasures in.
No lie. No lie.
You can ask the Blackbird why.
You can ask the Blackbird why.
You can ask the Blackbird why.
