歌曲歌詞
All I had hoped for
I kept inside your car
The rabbit in the barn
Most of all I wait
I wait beside the door
I wait beside the door
All I was wrong
Trembling in the cage
I was diamonds in the cage
In seven hours I consider death
And your father called to yell at me
You little boy you little boy
Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn
And cut my hands somehow
Blood in the meadowlark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed
And laughed and laughed
How I was wrong
Tingling from the kill
Tickle me until
You devil bird you evil still
Slept on my arms
I was sleeping in the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy you little boy
How could you run from me now
The loneliest chime in the house
The loneliest chime in the house
You let it out you let it out
Come to me Calvary still
I'm weeding and raking until
I'm bleeding in spite of
My love for you
It bruised and bruised my will
Counting alluvial plains
The breathing inside of the range
You touched me inside of my cage
Beneath my shirt
Your hands embraced me
Come to me feathered and frayed
For I am the ugliest prey
For I am the ugliest prey
The owl the reckless reckless praise
You said you'd wait for me
Down by Tannery Creek
Far out by the roadside
Where we used to
Kiss behind the sheets
Wrapped in a blanket of red
The Owl and the Tanager said
The Owl and the Tanager said
One waits until the hour is death
