They'll Need a Crane - They Might Be Giants, Bill Krauss

Love sees love’s happiness

But happiness can’t see that love is sad, love is sad

Sadness is hanging there

To show love somewhere something needs a change, they need a change

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to take the house he built for her

apart

To make it break it’s gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to pick the broken ruins up again

To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain

Lad’s gal is all he has

Gal’s gladness hangs upon the love of lad, the love of lad

Some things gal says to lad

Aren’t meant as bad but cause a little pain, they cause him pain

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to take the house he built for her

apart

To make it break it’s gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to pick the broken ruins up again

To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain

Don’t call me at work again, no no, the boss still hates me

I’m just tired and I don’t love you anymore

And there’s a restaurant we should check out where the other nightmare people

like to go

I mean nice people, baby wait, I didn’t mean to say nightmare

Lad looks at other gals

Gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad, he isn’t bad

Call off the wedding band

Nobody wants to hear that one again, play that again

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to take the house he built for her

apart

To make it break it’s gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane to pick the broken ruins up again

To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane

They’ll need a crane, they’ll need a crane

They’ll need a crane
