Poison Oak - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
Poison oak some boyhood bravery[00:00:10]
When the telephone was a tin can on a string[00:00:26]
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me[00:00:37]
You said you weren't afraid to die[00:00:48]
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes[00:00:54]
Were you made ashamed why'd you lock them in a drawer [00:01:10]
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more[00:01:20]
Than when you turned away when you slammed the door[00:01:30]
When you stole the car drove towards Mexico[00:01:39]
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm[00:01:44]
I was young enough I still believed in war[00:01:49]
Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep[00:01:54]
And all their tearful words will turn back into steam[00:02:22]
But me I'm a single cell on the serpent's tongue[00:02:32]
There's a mudfield where a garden was[00:02:41]
And I'm glad you got away but I'm still stuck out here[00:02:46]
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears[00:02:50]
And I never thought this life was possible[00:02:55]
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for[00:03:20]
The end of paralysis I was a statuette[00:03:30]
Now I'm drunk as hell on the piano bench[00:03:39]
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed[00:03:43]
The sound of loneliness makes me happier[00:03:48]
