As I was sitting on a stone, drinking a coffee all alone
A lovely woman on her own came quickly past me, running home
Well I lit myself up a cigarette, pulled it hard and wished we’d met
To live a day without regret, is to catch a Crow without a net
We’ll then a man gave me quite a look, a glare, or stare, fit for a crook
I read his soul, ‘bout a bait-less hook, it was a real nice cover on a shitty Book
I looked past my shades, our eyes did meet. Gone in a flash down to his Feet
To see the fear is such a treat and it’s days like these, so bitter sweet
Cos’ I’m the man you don’t walk near, I threaten all which you hold dear
The one you all pretend to fear, to get home quick and far from here
Well I sat and pondered on this thought, I sipped and dragged and wiped my snot
I couldn’t help but think of rot, but at least my coffee still was hot
Then a sight to cause most alarm, a black bird perched upon my arm
Although I know he meant no harm, in his beak was the devils charm
I smashed the raven with my limb and I snatched the treasure form his brim
To say the least it was a sight so grim, poured out my drink and I rolled my rim
I got up to leave and I said goodbye, I put my butt out in that dead Ravens eye
I trust the coff n’ smoke to tell me no lie, one says I’m a loser and the other I’mma die
