Judybats - Poor Bruised World lyrics

rate me

I try to sleep outside of myself<br />

Absorb some of the shock<br />

All l the world is unwinding<br />

Like some heartless old clock<br />

Look to the sky for judgment<br />

And all you get is rain<br />

Searching every eye for prophecy<br />

And all I see is pain<br />

They say the forests full of rain<br />

Will never come again<br />

Businessmen want a road<br />

Through another big place<br />

CHORUS<br />

Poor bruised world<br />

Poor bruised world<br />

Poor bruised world<br />

Poor bruised world<br />

Poor bruised you<br />

Poor bruised me<br />

Poor bruised world<br />

I saw a picture of a pretty bird<br />

In a nature magazine<br />

Said these birds, now they're all gone<br />

Well that's really obscene<br />

Ah, the pictures never taken<br />

Of a future we never had<br />

I should've taken that one of you<br />

(That day in the park) and now I feel bad<br />

Lately I feel something dark<br />

Turning in this century<br />

A little something more<br />

Than my own pop history<br />

CHORUS<br />

"Birds, please"<br />
