Andrew Bird - Cataracts lyrics

rate me

And when our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others<br />

And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers<br />

Milk that sours is promptly spat, light will fill our eyes like cats<br />

<br />

And they shall enter from the back<br />

With spears and scepters and squirming sacks<br />

Scribs and tangles between their ears<br />

Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears, oh dear<br />

<br />

Through the coppice and the chaparral<br />

The thickets thick with mold<br />

The bracken and the brier<br />

Catch weed into the fold<br />

<br />

When our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others<br />

And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers<br />

Milk that sours is promptly spat, light will fill our eyes like cats<br />

Light will fill our eyes like cats, cataracts<br /><br />
