How We Quit the Forest - Rasputina

The ostrich and the egret

Had a very fine flat to let

Figurine hutch, no the place wasn’t much, but they

Got a peacock

His belongings were meager but

He was pretty, would bring good luck

They would sing songs all aroung the piano and

Do the cakewalk

He would say what he’s gonna do

He would say what he wanted to

Ostrich and egret were filled with regret, but the

Rent’s well worth him

He felt things that they’d never felt

Like the slap of a feather belt

So till they sat by the fireplace silent

A chill ran through them

Ostrich and egret and peacock had very small dreams

Picturing them just reminded them of calendar scenes

Nobody’s laughing when everyone’s weeping, it seems

So that’s how we quit the forest

The scene wasn’t what it used to be

The scene is never what it used to be

So, that’s how we quit the forest

The scene wasn’t what it used to be

The scene is never what it used to be

So, that’s how we quit the forest
