"Meticulous Bird" lyrics

"Meticulous Bird"

I don't know who's getting any
I don't know who's giving
What a, what a pity, such a pretty city
Bears no children

I don't see them on the runway
They bus them in on Sundays
The visitors are meeting to decide
If you can come stay

Why deny, why why deny
Why deny, why why deny

I chase a stone cold thief
With a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime
I take my body back

I, I resent the invention
Listen, listen pay attention
I know the science of the fiction
Of conviction of the henchmen

I am here for the masterminds
They told us that you sold us
Oh my oh my oh my God
We didn't know you'd get ferocious

Oh my oh my
Oh my God
You didn't know I'd get ferocious
Oh my, oh my, oh

Why deny, why why deny
Why deny, why why deny

I chase a stone cold thief
With a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime
I take my body back

I chase a stone cold thief
With a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime
I take my body back

Grow my hair so long
To wrap around you
I grow my hair so long
To wrap around you
You've been starving for air
Ever since I found you

You had a dalliance with valiance
A violence to vow against
Not what I dream
Not what I dreamt
Not what I mean
Not how I meant

We ate like birds
Seeds and things
Hunting only for
Seasoning

I planned on no problems
To punctuate my stay
Now I perch above you
Meticulous bird of prey
Now I perch above you
Meticulous bird of prey

Why deny, why why deny
Why deny, why why deny
I find the scene of the crime
I take my body back
I find the scene of the crime
I take my body back

Grow my hair so long
To wrap around you
You've been starving for air
Ever since I found you

Grow my hair so long
To wrap around you
Grow my hair so long
To wrap around you
