Acid Bird lyrics
Sucking on a tap that never dries
Could you take it right between your eyes?
Bending blood, bending blood
The father stood, the father's hood
Black shadow on an acid bird that etched
Her way across a field so long ago
Walking through the fields in summer heat
Look at all the creatures 'round your feet
Pumping blood, pumping blood
The mother gave, the mother gave
White ointment of an acid kiss that
Burned upon the lips she gave you
So long ago, so long ago
Fun in the sun, luck in the bloodstream
Shallow bodies writhing on the grass
Fun in the sun, hair in the slipstream
Cutting out a silhouette of dreams
Everything is older than it seems
Son of blood, son of blood
The baby shakes the baby snakes
That crawl across the acid rings that
Flicker from your corpuscles
One sunny day, one sunny day
Fun in the sun, everyone knows it
They could be as mellow as the hay
Fun in the sun, everyone blows it
They grow up and instantly turn gray
Black shadow of an acid bird that etched
Its way across a field
So long ago, so long ago
Sucking on a tap that never dries
Could you take it right between your eyes?
Bending blood, bending blood
