Black Crane Lyrics

Black crane cool with all your heart
Tell em not to resort to religions
Black crane, black crane, always keeping apart
I'm willing to consort with pigeons

And when things slow to a crawl and sights fill their eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
And the empress tastes a change, avert your eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
'Cause the dreams you dream in the vines
Mean about as much as mine

And from the gutter, from under the rubble
Rise, rise, spread your feathers
Each word they utter invites more trouble
So stay beyond the reach of letters

And when things slow to a crawl and sights fill their eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
And the empress tastes a change, avert your eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
'Cause the dreams you dream in the vines
Mean about as much as mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
