Cradle & All
Fourteenth street and the garbage swirls like a cyclone
Three o’clock in the afternoon and I am going home
F train is full of high school students
So much shouting
So much laughter
Last night’s underwear in my back pocket
Sure sign of the morning after

Take me home
Take me home and leave me there
Think I’m going to cry, I don’t know why
Think I’m going to sing myself a lullaby
Feel free to listen
Feel free to stare

I live in new york new york the city that never shuts up
In the daylight everything is so gory
You can hear snatches of stranger’s sorry stories
And I moved there from buffalo but that’s nothing
The trico plant moved to mexico
Left my uncle standing out in the cold
Said there’s your last paycheck have fun growing old

Take me home
Take me home and leave me there
Think I’m going to cry, I don’t know why
Think I’m going to sing myself a lullaby
Feel free to listen
Feel free to stare
Rockabye baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
Cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
Down will come baby
Cradle and all

Youth is beauty
Money is beauty
Hell, beauty is beauty sometimes
It’s the luck of the draw
It’s the natural law
It’s a joke
It’s a crime
I was bored
You were bored
It was a meeting of the minds
Now it’s three in the afternoon and I can’t leave too soon
Saying thank you, I had a nice time

Take me home
Take me home and leave me there
Think I’m going to cry, I don’t know why
Think I’m going to sing myself a lullaby
Feel free to listen
Feel free to stare

Maybe I’ll live my whole life
Just getting by
Maybe I’ll be discovered
Maybe I’ll be colonized
You could try to train me like a pet
You could try to teach me to behave
But I’ll tell you, if I haven’t learned it yet
You know,
I ain’t gonna sit, I ain’t gonna stay

Take me home
Take me home and leave me there
Think I’m going to cry, I don’t know why
Think I’m going to sing myself a lullaby
Feel free to listen
Feel free to stare
