lyrics

A Bat in your Birdland

If I say the right things
You’ll like me, you’ll really like me
If I say ‘em wrong, you’ll
Hang me among the birds

I am a hinge in the perpetual pivot
Of public opinion
You take me in the embrace of your
Guillotine arms

Sing me, Icarus, sing
Wave me through that intersection

I am an ill-fitting glove
I am a bat in your birdland
