ominous bird

lyrics

put down the rope.
the hanged man's house ain't the place for those jokes.
you're swinging from the wrong end of hope.

it's a beautiful song.
you sing it like an angel but you got the words wrong
and that's why we're all singing along.

it's a scavenger's life.
human silhouettes on the edge of a knife
and picking up the pieces most nights.

you take 'em to bed
and every morning there's a funeral you've got to attend
'cause the lover always dies at the end
and everybody lies to their friends.

well, i know i know i know i know, man, you know misery.
we're talkin talkin talkin but there's nobody listening.
i know i know i know i know you swore me to secrecy
but everyone knows everything already.

you've got a dangerous mouth
and you know i love that color that you're wearing right now.
whisper in my ear and i'll shout

your siren words.
and i know i know this melody is one that i've heard.
you sing it like an ominous bird.
i guess we're getting what we deserve.
