fluid ounces - birdbrained lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in my younger days, i was much older then
i swam in edens of amoebas on a planet
same as this one with the spineless and the miserable
and from the water’s edge, stuck out my birdbrain’s head
as the yolk spilled from the egg, i washed the jelly from my legs
and joined the upright and the uptight and the miserable

[chorus 1]
i’ll change my form, a billion years
respond to every conditioning
the world is old, but still naive
the way i’ve tried to be

[verse 2]
resort to jaded ways, (we had) we had excuses made
when i’m gnarled like nicodemus, i’ll need someone to attend me
can i count on you to do this?
a quite untreatable prolonged inevitable
(we have) something crawled out from my head
i washed the dirt off from its face
and joined the upright and the uptight and the miserable

[chorus 2]
my grace deforms before you, dear
i take whatever you give to me
the world is old, but bored to tears
and i don’t want to be

[bridge]
(oh)
no better time, no certain place
it’s a lonely life in an empty nest
in a new incubative mother’s breast
the world’s a worm in the beak at best
and i don’t wanna be
oh, oh
oh, oh

[verse 3]
and as the yolk spilled from the egg, as the egg fell from the ledge
as my wings were molting off, i felt a sense of dread
when i waddled in disgrace back towards my nesting place
join the spineless and the timeless and the cynical

[chorus 1]
i’ll change my form, a billion years
respond to every conditioning
the world is old, but still naive
the way i’ve tried to be
oh, oh
oh, oh

[outro]
so when you wash the dirt off from your face
well, i don’t want to see
