Jesca Hoop - Murder of Birds lyrics

rate me

I am not a bird, I'm a murder of birds

Shifting my shape when your tongue forms the words

Like I hate you when I love you the most

Love you the most, love you the most

This shape, a snake in a defensive coil

The same attractive lips as the one foolish girl

Say she hates you when she loves you the most

Loves you the most, loves you

And I've got demons when I need 'em

Don't ask to see them 'cause they're not supposed to be used against you

Can we build a safe house?

Far from the bitter bright

And when we go home to the brown recluse

And the cobra locked outside

To the spider we'll give a web

To the cobra, a lullaby

And keeping her demons happy

You may free for me to fly

In the shape of home baked bread

And the girl that turned it down then

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said

And I think I'm a loon as I form grace

For you unleash your mood and I'm no longer safe

I say I hate you when I love you the most

Love you the most, love you the most

This shape of my breast and this shape of my kiss

Demons in coil with a slither and hiss

I say I hate you when I love you the most

Love you the most, love you

And I've got demons when I need 'em

Don't ask to see them, they're not supposed to be used against us

Can we build a safe house?

Far from the bitter bright

And when we go home to the brown recluse

And the cobra locked outside

To the spider we'll give a web

To the cobra, a lullaby

And keeping her demons happy

You may free for me to fly

In the shape of home baked bread

And the girl that turned it down then

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said

In the shape of home baked bread

And the girl that turned it down then

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said

‘Cause I’m not a bird, I’m a murder of birds
