Birds

Living it up
In an apartment
Living it up
By a convenient store
Thorn in my side
God, it was a thorn
Carpenters line
God, it was a thorn
Living it up
In an apartment
Living it up
By a convenient store
Thorn in my side
Deliver me
I want to see your hands
Deliver me
From a sea of questions
Thorn in my side
God, it was a thorn
Carpenters line
God, it was a thorn
Do you like birds?
Do you like real, real big birds?
Do you like great big birds?
This is the biggest bird I’ve ever seen
Is that a bird?
Or just a real, real big man?
Just a big, big man…
The greatest building brought me down on my knees
The wolves were spreading across the island
You change your life around add verbs to everything
But you cover your head when there is action
I woke up stumbling still staring at my shoes
The devil lay across my bedspread
Your friends are kings and queens and there heading for the noose
Said they’ll hang like gamefish by the morning
Buy a new shoes
Buy a new shirt
Buy a new jacket
Buy a new shoes
Buy a new shirt
Buy a new…
Buy a new shoes
Buy a new shirt
Buy a new…
Buy a new shoes
Buy a new shirt
Buy a new…
Way out west they build elevators
They build relationships there filling up empty boxes
And one thousand drummers playing one thousand songs saying
One thousand rights equal one thousand wrongs
Don’t you sharpen your teeth and your wits on children
You need some answers well you already got em
This is a harbor of boats and there aren’t any sailors
This is a forest of snipers and theres not any cover
Do you like birds?
Do you like real, real big birds?
Do you like great big birds?
This is the biggest bird I’ve ever seen
Is that a bird?
