Lyrics for Painted Bird - Workhouse Demo
On the poison wings, you try to sing Freaks in streaks of gold, at your confusing hue The peek of screaming eyes, heard a mercy, oh No mercy, oh Painted bird, it's absurd It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt Painted bird, it's absurd It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt The park will make its show, a sadistic joke And the whippoorwills, they make a din In laughing unison, your hitchcock carrion In laughing unison, your hitchcock carrion, carrion Painted bird, it's absurd It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt Painted bird, it's absurd It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt I hear your sorrow Maybe tomorrow, tomorrow, you'll lose your sorrow When the painted feather will cleanse away That painted feather, and all that sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Whoa-oh A cop getting burnt for the painted bird And found that healthy flock with a shock all run Because the painted bird, by her own design By her own design, there's no more sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Whoa-oh Have you heard about the painted bird? It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt Painted bird, it's absurd Now a tainted bird mocking the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt We heard your sorrow Now tomorrow, tomorrow, we've lost that sorrow Painted bird, it's absurd Now a tainted bird mocking the twisted dirt Painted bird, it's absurd
