Meticulous Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know who's getting any
I don't know who's giving
But a what a pretty such a pretty city
There's no children
I don't see them on the runway
They bust them in on Sunday
The visitors are meeting to decide
If you can come stay
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
I-I resent the invention
Listen, listen, pay attention
I know the science of the fiction
Of conviction of the henchmen
I am here for the masterminds
They told us that you sold us
Oh my, oh my, oh my god
We didn't know you'd get ferocious
Oh my, oh my, oh my god
You didn't know I'd get ferocious
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh!
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
I grow my hair so long to wrap around you
You've been starving for air ever since I found you
You had a dalliance with alliance
Of violence to bow against
Not what I dreamed, not what I dreamt
Not what I mean, not how I meant
We ate like birds, seeds and things
Hunting only for seasoning
I planned on no problem to punctuate my stay
Now I perch above you, meticulous bird of prey
Now I perch above you, meticulous bird of prey
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
(I take my body back, I take my body back)
Why deny? Why, why deny?
(I take my body back, I take my body back)
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
You've been starving for air ever since I found you
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
