Killing Birds |
| I learned long ago |
| 'bout a better way of killing birds |
| And what it means when they die in my hands |
| Like a strangled heart |
| It never made much sense to me |
| Why I’d need to know the best way to do that |
| But you have to love the murderer I’ve become |
| As I’m standing here in front of you |
| Standing right in front of you |
| Standing here in front of you |
| Killing birds |
| I’ve spent my youth |
| Breaking down the walls my father built |
| Just like he did to his father before him |
| But then I had no home |
| So I tried to make a better one |
| It looked just like his, so I burned it down again |
| No there ain’t a long parade of idiots |
| You don’t have to love the murderer I’ve become |
| If I could spin a web |
| I would sit and wait for you |
| I wouldn’t need a stone, I’d just poison you and tie you up |
| And you would be a bird |
| A beautiful cresent one |
| And your eyes would beg |
| But i’m just doing my job |
| Standing here in front of you |
| Standing right in front of you |
| Standing here in front of you |
| Standing right in front of you |
| Standing here in front of you |
| Standing right in front of you |
| Standing here in front of you |
| Killing birds |
