Lyrics
bird lady
these dull teeth breed local haunts
now i'm bored in this town
bird lady
but if balance should catch me
i'll empty my heart
if all that sound is inspiration
then why do you bar the doors
while you sleep in a building on fire?
well no one's crossing your threshold
the traps that you set burden you
while you sleep in a building on fire
you sleep in a building on fire
bird lady
these glass dreams they gather dust
while my madness shows them off
bird lady
if a conscience should find me
i'll graft it to my mind
