the blood brothers - peacock skeleton with crooked feathers lyrics

Loading...

if the sea shakes like an empty maraca
i know [x4]
and she falls in love with the sounds of ships sinking?
i know [x4]

which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?
if the heavens part and n-body, nowhere, nothing,
every apartment is vacant, every home for rent?
hey peac-ck?
what’s that?
i just want to know what your feathers are made out of.
is it bruises or roses or cradles or coffins? (it’s all those!)
which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?
if your friends are all cripple, all wither, all wilt,
i know [x4]
and you smile at their pain on your angel bone stilts.
i know [x4]
which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?

if the brick you throw puts a bullet in your skull
and a police boot lands atop your gaping jaw?
hey peac-ck?
what’s that?
i just wanna know what the babies mouth is full of.
is it flies or cries or straw?
which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?
which peac-ck’s police? which peac-ck is thief?

if machine guns come knock, knock, knocking
who’s cashing out your bad luck?
if wedding bells sound like death knells baby
is a wealthy groom worth all this gloom?
if tuxedos slither off corpses
and copulate wild on wedding cake
and the priest starts snapping photos?
there’s a peac-ck on your shoulder
pole dancing around your neck
while reciting the book of revelation.

so who do you love?
who do you trust when your friends take a match to your front lawn?
a panicked face makes the peac-ck proud.
so who do you love? who do you trust?
who do you kill when your senator drags out your first born?
a panicked face makes the peac-ck proud.

if the forests turn to static and the gnarled branches, too?
i know [x4]
your body starts to fall into a concrete tutu?
i know [x4]
which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?

if you strike for better wages at the cola factory
and they drink champagne as they kick in your teeth?
hey peac-ck?
what’s that?
i just wanna know what his blood tasted like.
was it like sugar or vinegar or whiskey or dirt? (it’s all those!)
which peac-ck is beast? which peac-ck is priest?

if machine guns come knock, knock, knocking
who’s cashing out your bad luck?
if wedding bells sound like death knells baby
is a wealthy groom worth all this gloom?
if tuxedos slither off corpses
and copulate wild on wedding cake
and the priest starts snapping photos?
there’s a peac-ck on your shoulder
pole dancing around your neck
while reciting the book of revelation.

things are never what they seem, the peac-ck’s static melodies.
the peac-ck spreads its crooked feathers. [x4]

so who do you love?
who do you trust when your friends take a match to your front lawn?
a panicked face makes the peac-ck proud.
so who do you love? who do you trust?
who do you kill when your senator drags out your first born?
a panicked face makes the peac-ck proud.
