INTRO :          
                                 
Hear me tell how the hounds of the bankers
                             
Took my mind to the freaking ridge
                                 
How the claims and the howling reminders
                                
Kept my eyes from their rest at night

                              
When the dogs of the bank are upon me
                                
And they've come to repossess my car
                              
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
                                 
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

                           
All you men that live for the evening
                              
Seven hours when the light forgives
                                  
And you race like a dog when he's dreaming
                                 
And you wait for the yank of the hook

                                
Understand that the chains are magical
                                      
And they strain to keep you where you are
                              
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
                                  
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

                            
Let the Crane take back the engine
                            
Let the crane take back the wheel
                            
And I feel that the world should come with me
                               
When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)

                               
Hear me tell how you walk into a dreamland
                                 
With a line from the back of your head

                               
To the wheel that revolves at the center
                                
And you wait for the yank of the hook

                                
When the dogs of the bank are upon me
                                
And they've come to repossess my car
                               
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
                                 
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

                             
Let the Crane take back the engine
                             
Let the crane take back the wheel
                                     
And I feel that the world should come with me
                                
When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)
                                
When I ride to the crack in the earth, ah ha!

Solo:                          quick

Let the Crane take back the engine
                             
Let the crane take back the wheel
                             
And I feel that the world should come with me
                             
When I ride to the crack in the earth
                              
Oh I feel you should come with me
                             
Yes I feel you should be here
                             
And I feel that the world should come with me
                               
When I ride to the crack in the earth
