Grant-Lee Phillips - Nightbirds lyrics

Feathers and furs nightbirds Only come out after dark Hear ‘em all singin' nightbirds Crying like no meadowlark Velvet and pearls mausoleum girls Leathery jacketed boys Out on a limb at the end of the bar Shunned from the island of joy Waiting for the silver moon to come and set ya free Waiting for the silver door to swing wide like a jailbird's dream Dream Powder and gloves night doves Only come out after hours Think with perfume by the light of the tomb Fresh as a funeral flower Waiting for the silver moon to come and set ya free Waiting for the silver door to swing wide like a jailbird's dream Feathers and furs nightbirds Only come out after dark Hear ‘em all singin' nightbirds Crying like no meadowlark
