Andrew Bird - Effigy lyrics

rate me

If you come to find me affable

Build a replica for me

Would the idea to you be laughable?

Of a pale facsimile?

So would you come to burn an effigy?

It should keep the flies away

When you launce upon this effigy

It should be

For the hours that slip away

Slip away

Chorus

It could be you

It could be me

Walk in the door

Drinking for free

Carrying on with your conspiracies

Filling the room with a sense of unease

Fake conversations on a non-existent telephone

Like the words of a man who spent a little too much time alone

I don't want to spend too much time alone

When you come to burn my effigy

It should keep the flies away

If you long to burn an effigy

It should be for the man whose lost a friend

Slips away

It could be you

It could be me

Walk in the door

Drinking for free

Carrying on with your conspiracies

Filling the room with a sense of unease

Fake conversations on a non-existent telephone

Like the words of a man who spent a little too much time alone

I don't want to spend too much time alone

La la la la la<br />

<br />
