Crooked Crown lyrics

Bonnie Raitt-Crooked Crown
(Maia Sharp/David Batteau)

I could say what I mean
(or I could dance around it)
it would feel good to scream
(I should quiet down)
I could be recognized
(or I could stay in bed)
look the world in the eyes
(or just hang my head)

I`m holding steady this crooked crown
Knowing I`ll lose it if I look down

When my ship has come in
(when it runs aground)
I`ll be smiling again
(turn those corners down)
I`ve got something to say
(no one`s listening)
it`s my reckoning day
(so where`s the reckoning?)

I`m holding steady this crooked crown
knowing I`ll lose it if I look down
I`m holding steady this crooked crown

My prodigy and my idiot play
for the prize of my delicate line
somehow the score at the end of
the day is still 51-49

I`m holding steady this crooked crown
knowing I`ll lose it if I look down
I`m holding steady this crooked crown
