Solange Releases New Music + Visuals – ‘A Seat at The Table’
[Singing starts]
“Cranes In The Sky”
I tried to drink it away
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hair
I ran my credit card bill up
Thought a new dress make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder
I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away
