Crashing by David Singer & The Sweet Science

CRASHING


There was a crack like something split the earth’s foundation
And the pieces were all spinning around
Ginger and Jack
We drifted with the earth’s rotation
And found another sorrow to drown
There was a second where we almost reckoned
But there wasn’t an easy way out
So we locked our front doors
And got down on all fours
We cracked up, We packed in, We blacked out

You say it’s passing, but the whole world is crashing
And the bastards have run off in a rout

I made a business decision at Clark at Division
I was really at the end of my rope
And this guy on Pulaski sorta looked right past me
And he offered to sell me some dope
I said, “I appreciate that, Jack, maybe on my way back.”
And he smiled like it was some kind of trap
He said “I’ll be here 'til 10, if you come back this way again
And don’t get cute unless you want to get clapped.”

You say it’s passing, but the whole world is crashing
And we’re all about to see it collapse
You say it’s passing, but the whole world is crashing
And the rats are picking over the scraps


I had to make an appearance and fake some coherence
At a party for my analyst’s wife
I rolled up around 11, I put down three 7&7s
And managed to recover my night
I got stuck at a table with this extremely unstable redhead in a loose-fitting top
We started to flirt
I tried to feed her dessert
And got my ass kicked by her boyfriend the cop

You say it’s passing but the whole world is crashing
And there isn’t any way it’ll stop
You say it’s passing but the whole world is crashing
At least the pressure is beginning to drop
You say it’s passing but the whole world is crashing
And there isn’t any way it’ll stop
You say it’s passing but the whole world is crashing
At least the pressure is beginning to drop
