lyrics

Oh in the dark and deep
Where the light don’t always reach past the leaves
People anthropomorphizing
“What a pretty thing.”
“Did you hear her tweet?”

Oh in a backroom hall
Feet a-tappin’ in a nicotine fog
With tunes so supple she spells out trouble
Amidst a the rubble of barroom brawl

Hear them say “All the pretty little songbirds on a line.
So familiar, it’s all in how they try to differ.
Each one has a place to define.”

Oh in the hush backstage
You catch a guarded look that’s hard to gauge
You wonder does she sing lullabies
To closing eyes or her lover’s sighs?

But this story is more old than new
And the light don’t always shine on what’s true
It’s people anthropomorphizing
“What a pretty thing.”
“Did you hear her tweet?”
