Tractor from Perfekt World by Clara Lofaro

Tractor
Clara Lofaro

Ma, my hair is longer than it’s ever been
I’ve done it all backwards as I work at this machine
This machine called living- that is just getting by
This broken-down tractor that keeps me alive

The drain sifts my efforts, I forget how to breathe
I forget this is worth it, there is nothing that I need.
Never known an easy battle, never walked a straight line
And it takes too much out of me, just to survive

CHORUS
You caught me on my last rope
Waiting for the crane
To blow me away
Handed me your last hope
Waiting til I try
And I don’t know why…

All that was so precious is nothing to me now
There’s no more room for bullshit, the bittersweet’s gone sour
Catch up all the birdies and crush ‘em in a cage
I’m not going to hold my waste, I know that I can’t save them-

Chorus…

Roamed the dirt to find someone who’d love and let me be
One who’d look me in the eye and kiss me as I bleeded (pause)
His fragrance warms my soft spot, it lives in my hair
There to give me one more chance, we both know life’s no fair
As you…

CHORUS
Catch me on my last hope
Waiting for the crane
To blow me away
Handing me your last rope
Waiting til I try
And I don’t know why
Don’t know why...
