[Singing starts]

“Cranes In The Sky”
I tried to drink it away

I tried to put one in the air
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hair

I ran my credit card bill up
Thought a new dress make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder

I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away

[Singing ends]
Sorry, I can’t get this song out of my head.
