City Swans

Help out with the missing lyrics, folks! Tough to hear some of the words...

Lyrics as I heard them:

Baby, come out I'll meet you in the street at the place by the old fire station We'll get something to eat, like we talked about

Baby, come down It's been a while now I've got so many things I could tell you, If my stubborn mouth doesn't let me down

And I can't look at you straight on You're made from something different than I know

Try to slip the marching clock, But centipedes invade my thoughts Without free will I heel and I go

You step on to that metal plate Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains, And I beg those trains to run,

'Cause I can't look at you straight on You're made from something different than I know

My eyes are on the sidewalk And it's gung-ho to your feet I swear under my breath because I'm starving in your gravity

You're made from something different than I know

Linger just a little long I see your gun is drawn, with the safety on You can't walk me back to my hotel like it was home

And I smell those fools you make hardwood of in petty dreams that leave me sleeping here, In your arms City swans, our crooked necks long City swans

I can't look at you straight on You're made from something different than I know

And it breaks my heart just like the day that I looked down And I realized I'd been sailing so long I'd become the shore City swans, our crooked necks long City swans

Take that as you will!

This song—mentioned to me, knowing n all...towards me, by a long old time love once it was burnt down and passed. His meaning, I didn’t get really, but damn if I don’t listen hard to this now and again, and hurt.
