No Bird Sing - Heaven And Other Drugs lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Horton:] Crow Jane froze ‘ Cocaine stuck to her nose Delicate, made to be broken Pellet in her wing ‘ Another in the gut On her way to heaven ‘fore the barrel stop smoking Swallowing the heat ‘ Lips burn bright, then I follow her to sleep Energy returns to the ocean as a wave And we forget about the world that was begging us to stay until we crash Back on the shore and get a good glance at all the funny forms we could have If we would relapse She became she ‘ I became I We became addicted painting pictures in the chaos I made a snake ‘ She made a crow ‘ Loved her so much, named her Crow Jane She didn't like my snake, so I injected her with venom Made her jealous of the girls with the alabaster wings [Interlude: Joe Horton:] Shed black feathers tug my divining rod tongue to Jane Half naked ‘ pecking her reflection in the pond Even ugly things deserve a little d**h [Verse: Joe Horton:] I made a snake ‘ Jane made a crow Loved her so much ‘ Made her go away Didn't want her to leave, so I invented heaven And put her in the sky, with alabaster wings Faster than a blink, something in me clicks If Jane wants a friend, that's exactly what she'll get Next crow I see, I point and yell murder Put two in her chest, break a tooth off in her sternum Whisper in her ear, I'm sorry if I hurt you You're delicate, and made to be broken The venom puts an ocean in your chest instead of a heartbeat It'll all be over soon ‘ Just sink into it slowly Only thing I ask in exchange for breaking your cage Is that you fly to heaven and find my bird Jane Tell her I'm sending her some company And as long as I'm drawing breath She'll always be the girl for me [Interlude: Joe Horton:] Tied myself in knots ‘ Couldn't swallow my own tail anymore That's why I keep her around Tied myself in knots ‘ Couldn't swallow my own tail anymore That's why I keep her around She's a glutton for the punishment I need [Outro: Joe Horton:] That's why I keep her around (repeats) Heaven is a pile of hollow bones (repeats)
