Lyrics
Resonant Bell World
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.
sometimes you're a starling
sometimes you're a kite
you're a hyena from early to mid afternoon
you're a stray dog at night
it's the most amazing thing i've ever seen
how you will not act like a human being
when you put on your special coat
and you made your special lunge for my throat
between you and me,
it was, it was, really exciting
it's the most alarming thing i've ever seen
how you will not act like a human being
it's the most incredible thing i've ever seen
how you refuse to act like a human being
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
