lyrics

"I spend my days in cathedrals stepping on pin needles oh what a life oh what a life
You send me smokey confusion trompe l'oiel illusions and you make me think twice you make me think twice
now I 'm lying in the grass fingers still clasped, lying in the grass my fingers still clasped from you

I spend my days on city buses weaving in and out of corruption so I close my eyes I just close my eyes
you give me glimpses of bello compassato but you still can't make an offer so I close my eyes I just close my eyes
now I'm lying the square full of tangles and tears from you now I'm lying in the square full of tangles and tears from you

We travel and we travel but we still seem to unravel so we close our eyes we just close our eyes
we travel and we travel but we still seem to unravel oh what a life, don't close your eyes

If your lying in the grass fingers still clasped
to all those lying in the square full of tangles and tears
to all those lying in their beds ghosts filling their heads
lying in your bed but tomorrow will be new

The Birdhouse Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We're a house in Philly. We have house shows. They are really good. We record them. We give away the recordings.

And there's a loose bird theme somewhere in there.
