Crocodile Tears by The Northern Pikes Lyrics
I wore a red shirt when she blew into town
Trepidation, to see if she'd notice this thorn-thistle crown
She bought me drinks and her valor was fair
Her long black wings flapped up into the air
She flew into the air
A golden frown, it made a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
She said "In my past life I was burned at the stake
I paid a big price for one very little but foolish mistake"
I said "You're kidding, or I hope that you are
To screw up twice in two different lives is truly bizarre"
A golden frown, it makes a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
She was a good friend 'til she left me for good
She denied knowing me
She denied loving me like I knew she would
A golden frown, it made a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
Trepidation, to see if she'd notice this thorn-thistle crown
She bought me drinks and her valor was fair
Her long black wings flapped up into the air
She flew into the air
A golden frown, it made a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
She said "In my past life I was burned at the stake
I paid a big price for one very little but foolish mistake"
I said "You're kidding, or I hope that you are
To screw up twice in two different lives is truly bizarre"
A golden frown, it makes a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
She was a good friend 'til she left me for good
She denied knowing me
She denied loving me like I knew she would
A golden frown, it made a sound
Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house
And covers up the sun, daylight after day
To dust clouds I pray
Rain crocodile tears
And wash the grief away
