lyrics

TWO DEAD BIRDS
On the desk, filed away
On a paper creased and stained
Signed their lives away
Two dead birds encaged
Down the sidewalk, down the street
Only home they’ve ever known
Ferryman, take the coin
Fie! Fie! My love
Words alone, they share
They’ll take ‘em with ‘em now, together as friends

On the night stand, there’s his teeth
And her slippers tucked underneath
The housecoat he never wears
Even though she complains
Children playin’ down the street
As they lay down holding hands
Oh, the stillness as they lay
Fie! Fie! My love

Two dead birds
Glad to feel the same
Scored a perfect game

Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
Ooooooh

Their lives are like a ripple now
Ridin’ down the farthest ring
Right to the edge

Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
One by one, one into one, one into the soul of the one
Fie! Fie! Two birds choose their way to fly
Flying alone through the skies
One by one, one into one, one into the soul of the one
Fie! Fie! Two birds choose their way to die
Two is the one in their eyes
One by one, one into one, one into the soul of the one
Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
Fie! Fie! Two birds take wing to the sky
They’ve made it up in their mind
One by one, one into one, one into the soul of the one
Ooooooh
