lyrics

hot skinny bird that i've become they'll come around when there's no sun high up in the clouds i am the only one since you and she have hung around i have been tied i have been bound to know no sleep to take no food and to be always in the mood i open up between the storms a sky inside outside the norms of what is possible and right unguarded wild blackberry night restricted breathing in and out and counting life excited hurting like a knife i understand 'cause it is twisted by your hand i like the thrills i dig the change i miss the peace i make no claims on what is fair or what is right 'cause i can't even know tonight i like the thrills i dig the change i know no peace i make no claims 'cause what is fair and what is right won't help me make it through tonight worn around my shoulders your love feels grand like a feather necklace we found buried in the sand your love and your love and my love are always hand in hand i'm watching gently through the glass as you are working on your band
