You say there's something wrong
Why don't they talk about it
It's stuck in your lungs
Just move along without it
The black and blue
Saliva spittin witness
Fly off to someone new
Take their pets as prisoners
Magpie
Magpie
Magpie
Won't ya please forgive us
A thousand human lives
Dancing in the fountain
Junior crowfoot eyes
From years too small to count em
Someone like you
You've lost the right to silence
The magpies view
Take their song through acts of violence
Magpie
Magpie
Magpie
Won't ya please forgive us

My Sunflower

I'm leaving the summer without you
I'm leaving the summer without you
I got the message the last time we sang our songs together
I’m leaving the summer without you
My sunflowers
I’m leaving the summer without you
Leaves starved of sunlight, frost in your veins by mid September
I’m leaving the summer without you
my sunflower (what am I leaving for you)
I’m leaving the summer without you
my sunflower (what am I leaving for you)
Isn't it time we start acting our age
And I won't be ashamed of our
Bodies our strange
Lovely bodies are strangers
To me
I'm leaving the summer without you
(what am I leaving for you) my sunflower
I'm leaving the summer without you
(what am I leaving for you) my sunflower

Nobody Lives There

If your bones were a house I would soon burn them down
To the ground, cept the nails and your chimney
I'd spit on your bedrooms, and roll around in the ash, yea cause
nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
It started off you were just tipsy
Your rafters they started to bleed
After the flood you will shield migrating birds with your insides
Are a ghost town that time hollowed out
With the help of the swamp grass and leeches
They called you unsafe and they all moved away
Yea and nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
Your water fell victim to commerce
Your businesses fell to the ticks
People asked why should I bother
Propping up your factories
When you don't take care of me
(whistle)
If your bones were a house I would chew you right down
To a mound made of marrow and tundra
Something will take your place, your property is pretty cheap these days
Yea cuz nobody nobody
Nobody nobody
Nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
