"Belly Of A Bird" lyrics

"Belly Of A Bird"

Taking the hand towel you moved to remove me
A zodiacal cross was swinging
The cream of Jest left Murphy bet
Pusillanimous penman you and your ruthless manoeuvring
Everything I was dispersed now into the wind
A bona fide anecdote, come, come be my Comedown Queen
I spy fluoride lies in your erudite flowing
There is joy in the knowing, relief in the seek
Singing with the singers in the dole queues
Here, how's it going
Is that your ribcage showing
Hear the horn that's blowing
From Barabas and the Mob outside your door

Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly-

Spent by relentless cavorting
I took a spot where I can sit and smoke and breathe
I sculpt an emotional bridge from pit to present
Shyness the thief is shunned
What made me throw the stone?
The perfect pitch of the shattering sheets
In the pursuit of boredom I left my home
Jay's fluid perfumed dreaming
Polish coal smoke fills my lungs
A handsome traveler talks in tongues
I've seen the aspirations of a nation rise
In the dust of a tumbling piebald
See, believe

Kick your ball, kick your ball, kick your ball against the wall
Kick your ball, kick your ball, kick your ball against the wall
Kick your ball, kick your ball, kick your ball against the wall
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a bird

Let me bear witness to your erudition
Ah, it's too early in the morning for empathy
Ah, it's too early in the morning for empathy

Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a-
Were you born in a field, no I came from the belly of a bird
