Lady Lamb - Bird Balloons lyrics

I'm a ghost & you all know it. I'm singing songs & I ain't slowing. It was a fragile thing & I goddamn dropped it. I picked the pieces up & put them in my pocket. & I ain't gonna try to win your heart this time. I've had space to think & I think that I've grown a little wiser. I'm looking for a new muse you have only made me tired. Call your bluff up on the telephone & jam-jar my blood. This is my loss of limb, my loss of love. Call your bluff up on the telephone & jam-jar my blood. This is my loss of limb, my loss of love. It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin to fly south, south until the springtime. Your hips stood out like confidence, you were naked as a newborn in the snow but you wanted it so, that's precisely how you wanted it & now your love is writing words on the wall with the meat of a nectarine that she picked earlier that morning in the orchard & you are on the street, a chest of drawers free while the skeleton parade marches past you carrying bird balloons. They fly backwards and forwards. The streets can be eerie, streets can be dreary. It's as if leprosy landed on the moon & it cast a filthy glow in the world & in my room, it's as if leprosy it landed on the moon & it cast a filthy glow in the world & in my room so how about I play the harp & you play that piano. Pull the curtains shut & nest like little sparrows. My limbs, my love are lost on you. My limbs, my love belong to you. I remember that night in the woods on the hidden balance beam made of a long wooden board with a barrel underneath. We laid on either end & we couldn't quite knack it after many attempts & minutes of silence until we did. & our breath caught. & we looked up. & the stars they were so still, the stars they were so still. Both our hearts they were revealed. Our hearts they were revealed. & you were my friend. You were my friend. This is my loss of love my loss of limb this is my loss of love my loss of limb. But now I'm a ghost and you all know it. I'm singing songs & I ain't stopping. My hair grew long so I f**ing cut it & when you looked away I stuck those trimmings in your locket, haha.
