The Crane Wives
The Wolf
[Verse]
I am not a builder
I’m much better at blowing things down
I will join the wolf at my door
Breathing out storms when she comes around
She comes around, she comes around

[Verse]
I am not a tempest
I light torches in my sleep
I have gasoline in my veins
I am always burning, burning, burning

[Pre-Chorus]
Can it be, can it be easy for once?
'Cause I’m no good at being kind to myself
Or anyone

[Chorus]
I am a falling axe
I am a sharpened knife
I am a poison asp
I am a risk to your life
My love
My love
[Pre-Chorus]
Can it be, can it be easy for once?
'Cause I’m no good at being kind to myself
Or anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Can it be, can it be easy for once?
'Cause I’m no good at being kind to myself
Or anyone

[Chorus]
I am a falling axe
I am a sharpened knife
I am a poison asp
I am a risk to your life
I am a swinging bat
Tumbling dynamite
I am the beast at your back
You better run for your life
Your life

[Outro]
I am not (I will join the wolf)
I am not (I will join the wolf)
I am not (I will join the wolf)
I am not
