lyrics

Well walk like I’m talkin with a spring time that never sat inside
Then I’m sleepin like a weekend gone awry
That never left my mind
Then I’m holdin hounds and sounds just like they’re funny
Funnier and how?
Just screamin dreams that ain’t real but give me money
Need to get rid of both somehow

But tell the birds they can always fly
All night, all night, it’s alright
And tell the world, see you cries
And who will just try to pass it off as a lie

So speakin like a drunken priest evilly dronin
Why does my good soul ever listen at all?
So I set down the cards cause either way my minds moanin
Guess I never had the heart to call
And it aint even any time, yet there I go askin
“How did I get myself here, for real?”
But then my lovely lady Slumber
Show me I can die all night and still feel

And tell the birds they can always cry
All night, all night, it’ll be alright
And go head, sell the world, see who sighs
And who just tries to pass off as much as they can buy

Well rainbow skies in the mornin, tell me how do you sleep?
And for the sidewalk shadows I hid in all night
Well we both got nowhere left to creep
But to hold you oh so dearly close by
Takes somethin on and off my mind
And for your clenched fist I fought all night
Well you lightly loosened your fingers and sorta, kindly
Let me slip by, just slip by, just slip on by

So tell the birds they can in all ways try
All night, all night, it is so? Well then alright
And then tell the worst if it’s just to include all who have died
And see who just tries to pass ya off as another enemy from some other side

But it's alright
