Heaven And Other Drugs - No Bird Sing

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

Shed black feathers tug my divining rod tongue to Jane

Half naked ‘ pecking her reflection in the pond

Even ugly things deserve a little death

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

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

That’s why I keep her around (repeats)

Heaven is a pile of hollow bones (repeats)
