The songbirds came to show and tell And issued me their fare-thee-wells And as they sang, they were like bells Inside their words my body fell And we could change the things we said And now I've joined the grateful dead Our fellow hunters that didn't measure Up to the grandeur in your head And I would wait if you didn't hide And let this hunter slowly die Folly lives within my bones And follows everywhere I go Just like a pup you grab my scruff And carry me to trees above This pain and pleasure is all that matters There is no morning after love And I would wait if you didn't hide And let this hunter slowly die Folly lives within my bones And follows everywhere I go
