Painted Bird Scream, Pt. 1 Lyrics

...And I came to a door,

And I looked inside

It was dark back there,

But I saw a pair of eyes

Alive like burning kites

Big as any satellite

Oh, show me the sights;

Your murder hornets and Israelites

And those eyes started glistening

And my ears began listening

To a spike fiddle played best

By a girl in a burning dress

And they all started dancing

Where a moon's glare came blanching

And those eyes started to press

As my mind was undressed

Auteur! Auteur!

Give me mud and I'll give you wings

Auteur! Auteur!

Give me mud and I'll...

And there's a bird perched upon my shoulders

His screams come rolling like a boulder

Over and over

Until the fear takes over

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather

Sever my tether my hearts lighter than a feather
