You speak English. I speak another.
|
You walk towards them. I walk father.
|
I never kissed before I wanted to love more.
|
IĄŻm a terrible, horrible, terrible person.
|
What did I really want before?
|
Am I just waiting for someone like
|
You? To pop out from the ground, like
|
An earthworm. But to only be swooped up by
|
Birds. Black, black, black birds. To be swooped
|
Up by birds. Their feathery wings brush my skin.
|
YouĄŻre growing older. IĄŻm getting colder.
|
CanĄŻt get a hold of her? Maybe she doesnĄŻt want you.
|
IĄŻm not surprise.
|
|
So IĄŻll spread my wings and fly away. With the black birds,
|
The black birds far away.
|
|
All I wanted was to love more.
|
Darling donĄŻt you wanna understand me?
|
All I wanted was to be known for. My great charm
|
And polite personalities. And they all say,Ą± horrible,
|
Horrible person. DonĄŻt you come nearer. Terrible,
|
Horrible, terrible person. We donĄŻt want you here.Ą±
|
|
So IĄŻll spread my wings and fly away. With the black birds,
|
The black birds far away.
