Hinden Bird Lyrics & Chords By Strangejuice

The mouths were hungry
The skulls were breathing
Hearts were beating
In the subway smoking
Had a lazy eyelid
A palsied lip
Collected subway tokens
Hid them in his typewriter
Drugs got your Daddy
All needles and elbows
And the money ran out
Laundry was homework
And her face crapped out
And her legs dropped out
She'd be unconscious for hours
A Patch of blue! Part the clouds!
Let the sky fall down! Want a mouthful of snow!
He hypnotized my mind
The heroes were dead and the ghosts were alive
I was obliged to sit down
My interest grew an inch
That old dumb moon-
Didn't see me
I crawled under bush
Kept my head under water
Give me morphine all night long
Give me laughing gas
Makes me all emotional!
The voice on the phone! Its Naomi screaming!
You'll wake the neighbours! You'll wake the neighbours!
I Play Spades, I take lives
I rape your ears with the jangle of my knives
I feel the joy, like a little boy
Sleeping bag at dawns orange-dusk light
Drink that cheap Soda
Gives you weird ideas
Hitler's in the ceiling
He holds a nazi dagger
Drowned in your mirror
Pump the dead body fulla music
Hear its big belly laugh
"A do-do-do-do-do-"
Pinwheeling my arms through poison gas
Stepping on snakes under the overpass
And he only had a half-nose
Smooth eyes, I have him loose change
The crab waved its claws
The maracas all a click-clack
He gave me an African Parrot
I kept it on Whiskey
And I taught that bird to sing! I taught it to sing!
I taught that birdy to sing! Sing for me!
(bird solo)
I Play Spades, I take lives
I rape your ears with the jangle of my knives
I feel the joy, like a little boy
Sleeping bag at dawns orange-dusk light
