st. vincent (with andrew bird) - black rainbow



"
there's a black rainbow above my house
match the curtains and the floor

i think i'm glass i think i'm breaking it
wrecking ball outside the door

let the children act like furniture
for the ladies of the lawn

but i can't see them, i can't see at thing.
here it's nighttime, all the time

bird outside the kitchen, fightin' his reflection
tell him i got nothin' for him
bird outside the kitchen, fightin' his reflection
what's he gonna win when he wins?

the unkissed boys and girls of paradise
are lining up around the block
back pockets full of dynamite
while neighbors talk and talk and talk

bird outside the kitchen fightin' his reflection
tell him i got nothin' for him
bird outside the kitchen fightin' his reflection
what's he gonna win when he wins?

throw
the phone out the window

if you want the neighbors woke
you'll have to shout out loud and set the bell and slow

if you want the neighbors woke
you'll have to shout even louder
