My nails painted black and my nose has a ring I am young, out for fun, living life on the wing And my buddies are wild, yeah, we hang in a crowd We are looking for action, we're bold, we are loud
Yeah we're raucous, they knock us, they say we're bad luck Just a pest with a nest but we don't give a … Cause we're flyin', cryin' in that crow-crazy way Tell me, who is more free at the end of the day?
Chorus: One stands for sorrow, two bring you mirth Three for a wedding, four for a birth Five bring you silver, six give you gold Seven, a secret never to be told
Tell me baby, have you seen a crow girl like me Now shifting, now lifting away on that breeze Does it make your heart long for those black shiny wings To rise up in the sky, to give life to your dreams
Chorus
Yeah we're raucous, they knock us, they say we're bad luck Just a pest with a nest but we don't give a … Cause we're flyin', we're cryin' in that crow-crazy way Tell me, who is more free at the end of the day?
Bridge: Eight are for heaven, nine stand for hell Ten for the devil, or so they do tell
So the next time you see me, remember my song When you see me a-sailing on wings black and long Keep your feet planted firm on the ground that you know But let your spirit go soaring with me, with the crow Let your spirit go soaring with me, with the crow.
