Cradle & All Lyrics

Fourteenth street, 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 yeah , 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 "Here'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 yeah, feel free to stare

Rockabye baby in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, 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, and 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 yeah, feel free to stare

Rockabye baby in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
And when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all

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 yeah, feel free to stare

Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare
Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare
Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare
