The Residents
Eva’s Warning
[Verse 1]
Now this is the story about the crow upon the wall
It’s followed through and front of me since I was very small
No matter what I do to it, it will not go away
It tells the easy answers and it speaks of better days

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’ll crush it, I’ll crush it
I even tried to rush it
And when I tried to rush it
It won’t stay down
It cries

[Chorus 1]
Eva!
Eva!
Eva!
I’m home

[Verse 2]
I know you won’t believe me but I’ve heard it call my name
Leading me along a ledge like looking at a flame
In my mind it multiples when I’m gone away
In my mind it multiples day by day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ll bruise it, abuse it
I even tried to lose it
But just when I confuse it
It won’t stay down
It cries
[Chorus 2]
Eva!
My little Eva!
Eva!
I’m home Eva, I’m home

[Verse 3]
I tried to warn them about the coming of the crow
But they only laughed about it, said they’d know
Now they put a sunrise, it brings another day
Once again they must pretend that they will disobey
