lyrics

There’s one more bird left in the yard. You’ll find him there with broken arms. And love him with vines instead of yarn. He’ll wrestle with your instruments, so shiny and new, and he’ll show you you’ve no idea what to do.

Stop foolin’ around with your placement.
Stop foolin’ around in your basement.

The final site he shoulda known, you replaced it with flourescent glow, and a window to frame a place he would call home. The ground that waits for him to fall will settle now for nothing at all. And the wind blows to fill your sails and guide you home.

Stop foolin’ around in your basement.
Stop foolin’ around with your placement.
Like a painting you found in your basement.
