Craw (band) – Days In The Gutter / Nights In The Gutter Lyrics

Artist: Craw (band)
Song: Days In The Gutter / Nights In The Gutter

On autopilot
Fall out of bed
At exactly 7:13am every day
The same dream

About slime on cement lingers
Fed the meter
Caffeine hits the bottom of the belly
Nicotine fills the sinuses

Hell I don’t mind working alone
Good morning ma’am
I’ve come to clean your gutter
And flush your downspouts

Grey skies and barren trees
Are truly beautiful things
Check the number twice
Set up the humiliator against the roof

Hook the buckеt onto the belt
Plant both feet deep into the trough
Pull out thе cage
And pound out the muck

The slop of ammonia makes a fine cologne
Three years I’ve worked the gutter trade
A series of accidents and here I am
Insanely in love with chance

Now comes the time for all good men
To give endless praise
To the delights of friction
Yeah you might consider me a little thick

And might wonder which character flaw
Brought me to such a lowly station
I see things differently
Chim-chimney chim-chim chiree

I’m a one-man gutter-cleaning machine
I shouldn’t be up on this f#cker
Every step on the moss covered in wood
Every awkward sweep into the bucket

Feels like I’m destined for the dirt
Where does it come from?
This urge to end the tension
To take the flailing leap

To really test the body’s limits
Teetering
Teetering
Nearly losing my sh#t

A glance down
I spy a hook
A snow angel
And it looks like dumb luck

If by cruel chance I misstep
If by a stroke of luck
A snow angel does snare me
Then bring on twilight

Catatonic
Faces are masks
Hiding a leer or a sneer
Twilight’s over

Nights in the gutter
Each one feels like Fat Tuesday gone wrong
And often times
Your hat, wallet, and pride desert you

Directing delirium
Somehow
To stand what’s dreary and irrelevant
On its head

Yeah give me a drink that’ll put me on the floor
Now is the time for all good men
To sing alleluias to the joys of friction
Purposely seeking out

Exhaustion and disappointment
Just because I can
Just for the sake of variety
Oh the many flavors of excess

And their consequences
Peace and relaxation
Are impossible for you now
Sharing a mutual laceration

We’ll enter the region of dreams
An unreal game
That must exist
Playing attraction and anxiety

Gambling that beyond the nausea
Something akin to lightning would strike us
Sharing a mutual laceration
We’ll dismantle the mechanical

Lover
You could always be respectable
Enjoying the esteem of the servile
Always cautious, a mere shadow

I have a child’s hope
That you’ll be able
To recall impulses
From your girlhood

That would now disrupt the trivial
We’ll find more ways than just existing
Sending alleluias
To the inhuman stars!
