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

They'll Need a Crane

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
