The Hold Steady - Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? (Bob Dylan cover) lyrics

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks Preoccupied with his vengeance Cursing the dead that can't answer him back You know that he has no intentions Of looking your way, unless it's to say That he needs you to test his inventions Babe, come crawl out your window Use your arms and legs, it won't ruin you How can you say he will haunt you? You can go back to him any time you want to He looks so truthful, is this how he feels? Trying to peel the moon and expose it With his business-like anger and his bloodhounds that kneel Yeah, if he needs the third eye he just grows it He just needs you to talk or hand him his chalk Or pick it up after he throws it Babe, please crawl out your window Use your hands and legs, it won't ruin you Now how you gonna say he will haunt you? When you can go back to him any time you want to He looks so righteous While your face is so changed As you sit on the box you keep him in While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange The religion of the rough ten women That backs up their views, and your face is so bruised Come on out, the dark is beginning Babe, please come out your window Use your hands and legs it won't ruin you How can you say he will haunt you? You can go back to him any time you want to You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window Come on please come out your window You've got a lot of nerve Yeah, you've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend If you won't come out your window Come on please come out your window Oh, please come out your window
