Verse:
EmG
Tear it down, tear it down around my head
EmG
I need you to bury this beneath my bed

EmCG
Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead
EmG

EmG
Hold your light to the darkness in my head

EmCG
Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes
Chorus:
EmCEm
My darling, the devil knows my name
-Oh...-

EmCAm

Destiny itself assembled the Crane Wives, and now they seek only to make music worthy of destiny. That, and act as silly as humanly possible.
“The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health.
