Thom Yorke - Black Swan Lyrics






What will grow crooked, you can't make straight
It's the price that you've gotta pay
Do yourself a favour and pack your bags
Buy a ticket and get on a train
Buy a ticket and get on a train

'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up

People get crushed like biscuit crumbs
And laid down in the bitumen
You have tried your best to please everyone
But it just isn't happening
No, it just isn't happening

And that is fucked up, fucked up
And this is fucked up, fucked up
This is your blind spot, blind spot
It should be obvious, but it's not.
But it isn't, but it isn't

You cannot kick-start a dead horse
You just cross yourself and walk away
I don't care what the future holds
'Cause I'm right here and I'm today
With your fingers you can touch me

I am your black swan, I am black swan
But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top
And this is fucked up, fucked up

We are black swan, black swan
But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top
And for spare parts, we're broken up
But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top

You are fucked up, fucked up
This is fucked up, fucked up

We are black swans, black swans
And for spare parts, we're broken up

    Take your time to look at the void

  8. S.... R....

    The line about the blind spot that makes the third eye open tho

  9. P.... S....

    The best song on THE ERASER, and one of Thom Yorke's career-finest overall.

  10. a.... ....

    It could have been a brilliant career.

    a.... ....

    It was though?

  11. L.... S....

    Friend stole a bunch of shit from me including my mind. Who am I? Who are you? Where am I? Whats this awful talk about brass knuckles and a .38? I think we all have muchausen by proxy. Love your bio signature. All of this will fail to matter soon little goslings. Soon Venus moves in and makes us her home. Scoured clean by clouds and heat. Remember that it was your fault for not shedding right blood at the right time. From here on out our offerings smell foul.

  12. E.... S....

    its beauty...

  13. A.... S....

    About 10 years ago or so I was heavily getting into Trip -Hop and dabbling in electronica and exploring all songs in that genre and stumbled across this song one day, this is the first song I heard of Thom Yorke and I was like wtf this is the sound I have been looking for, and have been missing, then I started searching Thom and figured out he was Radiohead, and then mind was blown and ever since listened to all his albums and songs and he is my favorite hands down.

    A.... S....

    Andre Slater listen to static on the radio by Jim white

    It's "cross yourself" not "crush yourself". The horse is dead, you make the sign of the cross and walk away.

  19. J.... L....

    niemals traurig sein. scheisse passiert. stell dich auf den kopf. uns sind leute abgeschmiert, zu viele.mit tränen und rotznasen.

    We're fked, as a species all we have to look forward to is total enslavement unless 'something' changes and fast.

  42. J.... S....

    I love Thom's scat-singing... like trying to improvise over the abyss.

    J.... S....

    Justin Stanley are you talking about the part from around 3:01 onwards “ but I made it to the top “ if so, I love that part too

    J.... S....

    N.... 8....

    The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldricht is another really good PKD book, you can even download the audiobook off youtube and listen on your phone:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TidAGFKWPQ0

    N.... 8....

    The book was great but I actually prefer the movie! It stayed very true to the book

    N.... 8....

    Fuck the book the movie rules , that being said much thanks to PKD for writing the book or the movie would not exist... it's a paradox , but not really???

  44. R.... J....

    3:44 slight hint of BoC influence. Imagining some cut-up vocals there with that rhythm.

    R.... J....

    Blue oyster ?
