The Way the Crow Flies

You don’t take me for a fool, now do you son
Don’t bend the truth, even if it burns
Send it down the barrel of that gun
Shoot it straight, it’s better to be learned

Straighten the curve, I’ll rise above
Don’t worry if you hear me cry
Sharp and to the point is right
I’ll take the way that the crow flies
I’ll take the way that the crow flies

I’ve followed that black snake round the curve
Like buzzard, I’ve circled round the dead
It’s easy like a river just to swerve
The bird’s eye view will take you on ahead

Straighten the curve, I’ll rise above
Don’t worry if you hear me cry
Sharp and to the point is right
I’ll take the way that the crow flies
I’ll take the way that the crow flies

Straighten the curve, I’ll rise above
Don’t worry if you hear me cry
Sharp and to the point is right
I’ll take the way that the crow flies
I’ll take the way that the crow flies
I’ll take the way that the crow flies
