Astronautalis - An Episode of Sparrows lyrics

Just as the last of the hay was cut today The threshers were resting, gelding slow in his gait The sun's work is done but he's still flush in the face Across the wet sky spreads an inky black stain An episode of sparrows Like you've never seen An episode of sparrows That you wouldn't believe An obsidian stream of petite pa**erines Swiftly eclipsing Helios' beams My wife, oblivious, whistling, snapping beans Witnessed a sight mine eyes had never seen An episode of sparrows Spelling my name An episode of sparrows A flawless display An airborne ballet, the swarming songbirds spell my name Quite deftly expressed by ama**ing each letter's shape In this, they confessed they suffered from hunger pains And failure to feed them to taste would lead them to lay waste to my hay So An episode of sparrows Shaking me down An episode of sparrows Committing racketeering Knowing the cost if I lost my crops The thought of my wife packing bags and running home With no choices left my heart sank in my chest On an exhaling breath I shouted, "Honey, we're having guests... I guess." An episode of sparrows Has eaten all my food An episode of sparrows Has drank all my booze An episode of sparrows Didn't do no damn dishes An episode of sparrows Flew off all fat and drunk on my sh**
