Andrew Bird - Heretics lyrics

rate me

Born host to a tongue so sing a song about it<br />

Held a breath for too long till we're half sick about it<br />

Tell us what we did wrong, then you can blame us for it<br />

Turn the clamp on our thumbs so we're down about it<br />

And tell us all about it, we're so in doubt about it<br />

<br />

How about some credit now<br />

Credit is due for the damage that was done<br />

We have wrought upon ourselves and others<br />

With this blow and vicious gun<br />

And although pratfalls can be fun, encores can be fatal<br />

<br />

And then I hear you say<br />

Thank God it's fatal, thank God it's fatal, not shy<br />

Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal, thank God<br />

Thank God it's fatal, thank God it's fatal, not shy<br />

Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal<br />

<br />

Wait just a second now<br />

It's not all that bad, are we not having fun?<br />

You make your mountains of handkerchiefs<br />

Where the mascara always runs<br />

So be careful when you're done you're bound to get post natal<br />

Wait, did I just hear you say<br />

<br />

Thank God it's fatal<br />

No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw<br />

No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw<br />

And we don't want to hear the signs that you bore<br />

You know the kind of sign you hang on a door<br />

Saying, "We'll be back, we're a crack"<br />

<br />

Now don't you think we might have heard all that before<br />

Yeah, don't you think we might have heard all that before<br />

<br />

Born host to a tongue so sing a song about it<br />

Held our breath for too long till we're half sick about it<br />

Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us<br />

Turn the clamp on our thumbs so we're down about it<br /><br />
