Jimmy Biggs - Crust

This crisis is bliss for three
Mister, missuses, sisters, three
Listen to their whistling, three
Kiss the thistles through the trees

I always kept the pie on the sill
Left it to pester like the fly on the bill
Of the waxwing that trills,
Tempted by the night until

A crust was earned
And trust was learned
To be one of those things
Like a scab over a bite
Or a cab in the night
To come regardless of whether it’s yearned

You wait politely for that sovereign decree
To come uninvited straight through the trees,
Enlighten you nightly of your mind’s poverty
All the while guiding you, and so softly.

Crust is the pall
Of a shawl on a cloud
Makes me doubt the ins, the outs
A shroud that we’re proud of
And after all,
Turns things around when we feel like a fool.

Been drilling down now for so long
Haven’t got the hot sweet stuff inside
I’m just scratching the crust
It’s diamond hard, ma.
All of my tools are twisted and rusted
My fingers will be
The next thing to go
My fingers will be
The next thing to go

A crust was earned
And trust was learned
To be one of those things
Like a scab over a bite
Or a cab in the night
To come regardless of whether it’s yearned
