Bird Balloons

I'm a ghost and you all know it

I'm singing songs and I ain't slowing

It was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped it

I picked the pieces up and put them in my pocket

And I ain't gonna try to win your heart this time

I've had space to think and I think that I've grown a little wiser

I'm looking for a new muse you have only made me tired

Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood

This is my loss of limb, my loss of love

Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood

This is my loss of limb, my loss of love

It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin to fly south

South until the springtime

Your hips stood out like confidence, you were naked as a newborn in the snow

But you wanted it so

That's precisely how you wanted it and now

Your love is writing words on the wall

With the meat of a nectarine that she picked earlier

That morning in the orchard

And you are on the street, a chest of drawers free

While the skeleton parade marches past you

Carrying bird balloons

They fly backwards and forwards

The streets can be eerie, streets can be dreary

it's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon

And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room

It's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon

And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room

It's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon

And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room

It's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon

And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room so

How about I play the harp and you play that piano

Pull the curtains shut and nest like little sparrows

My limbs, my love are lost on you

My limbs, my love belong to you

I remember that night in the woods on the hidden balance beam

Made of a long wooden board with a barrel underneath

We laid on either end and we couldn't quite knack it

After many attempts and minutes of silence until we did

And our breath caught

And we looked up

And the stars, they were so still

And the stars, they were so still

Both our hearts, they were revealed

Our hearts, they were revealed

And you were my friend

You were my friend

You were my friend

This is my loss of love my loss of limb

You were my friend

This is my loss of love my loss of limb

You were my friend

You were my friend

You were my friend

You were my friend

You were my friend

You were my friend

But now

I'm a ghost and you all know it

I'm singing songs and I ain't stopping

My hair grew long so I fucking cut it

And when you looked away I stuck those trimmings in your locket

Hahahahahaha
