Bramble
The streets are choked with briar
The cars are coiled over
Lock all the doors
And close the shutters
The air flutters
The streets are choked with briar
The house is looped with wire
Lock all the doors
And close the shutters
The air flutters
The thorn marches along the hedges
The thorn arches along the parks on the city edges
The thorn marches along the hedges
The thorn arches along the parks on the city edges
The streets are cloaked with briar
Where sings a feathered choir
Open the doors
Unfold the shutters
The air-
Open the doors
Unfold the shutters
The air flutters
The cars are coiled over
Lock all the doors
And close the shutters
The air flutters
The streets are choked with briar
The house is looped with wire
Lock all the doors
And close the shutters
The air flutters
The thorn marches along the hedges
The thorn arches along the parks on the city edges
The thorn marches along the hedges
The thorn arches along the parks on the city edges
The streets are cloaked with briar
Where sings a feathered choir
Open the doors
Unfold the shutters
The air-
Open the doors
Unfold the shutters
The air flutters
