the oh hellos – passerine lyrics
[verse 1]
like carillon bells, the house of augustus rings
with the echoing hymn of my fellow p-sserine, they took to it
like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie
and my god, it’s getting hard to even hum a single thing
[chorus]
you were the song that i’d always sing
you were the light that the fire would bring
but i can’t shake this feeling that i was only
pushing the spear into your side again
[verse 2]
see, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like
centurions than any little messiah
and as i prune my feathers like leaves from a vine
i find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but
[verse 3]
my palms and fingers still reek of gasoline
from throwing fuel to the fire of that greco-roman dream
purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams
it don’t bring me relief, no it don’t bring me nothing that
[chorus]
you were the song that i’d always sing
you were the light that the fire would bring
but i can’t shake this feeling that i was only
pushing the spear into your side again
and again and again
[bridge]
when he comes a knocking at my door
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
when the cold wind rolls in from the north
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
when he comes a knocking at my door
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
when the cold wind rolls in from the north
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
when he comes a knocking at my door
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
when the cold wind rolls in from the north
what am i to do, what am i to do, oh lord
