When Crow makes a mistake
There is no mercy, no second chance
The vultures will circle and wait
Black velvet between the yellow lines
Black velvet between the yellow lines

When Crow makes a mistake
The flight of swallows all snicker and gasp
To whom much is given there is much to take
In a free fall six seconds flat
Black velvet between the yellow lines

And in that moment before the end
Time becomes a big blue sky
He remembers the first time drafting on his mother's wing
He stepped off the wire, he stepped off the wire, he stepped off the wire

When crow makes a mistake
The honest corvid admits - that could have been me
One part nature, three parts fate
'Cause too much reflection only makes you weak
Black velvet between the yellow lines
Black velvet between the yellow lines
