Fruit Bats - Picture of a Bird lyrics

Looking at a picture of a bird From a series of books about the sea and the life above and in it Looking at a picture of a bird Staring out the window of an elevated train in a storm of blossoms and debris Staring out the window Looking at a jumble of words from something that you once wrote to me you said, "I'll never leave" Still you're looking at the jumble Everybody's gotten their hearts burnt From the turnpikes to the mud roads They got nothing left to die for And they got nothing left to run from Heading past the ring road To the place where you came from you see It's not your destiny Still you're heading past the ring road Looking into windows People got their fires lit today Gonna find your own cave Where you'll be looking at a picture of a bird Looking at a picture of a bird From a series of books about the sea and life above and in Looking at a picture of a bird
