Love sees love's happiness But happiness can't see that love is sad That love is sad Sadness is hanging there To show love somewhere something needs a change They need a change

They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break It's gonna take A metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart To help him start To see a world apart from pain

Lad's gal is all he has Gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad The love of lad

Some things gal says to lad Aren't meant as bad but cause a little pain They cause him pain

They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break It's gonna take A metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart To help him start To see a world apart from pain

Don't call me at work again No, no, the boss still hates me I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore And there's a restaurant we should check out Where the other nightmare people like to go I mean nice people—baby wait, I didn't mean to say nightmare

Lad looks at other gals Gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad He isn't bad

Call off the wedding band Nobody wants to hear that one again Play that again

They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break It's gonna take A metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane They'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart To help him start To see a world apart from pain They'll need a crane They'll need a crane They'll need a crane They'll need a crane

They'll need a crane They'll need a crane They'll need a crane They'll need a crane They'll need a crane
