Birds Collide

We heard you crying in the summer sky
We heard the crashing when the birds collide at night
Saw it fall, saw it fall into a fiery glow
We felt the pounding in the villages below

Hey hey, it's not okay to keep you running with a sharp knife
Hey hey, we're on our way,
we keep on shouting when the birds collide at night

Got caught in the corners of the coldest cells
we went a searching down the deepest of wishing wells
and while we swim all around underwater lights
Jorge Amado's got it all figured out tonight

Hey hey, it's not okay to keep you running with a sharp knife
My my, we've gone astray, we got distracted with our own lives
Yea Yea, its new years day, we take the yoke and pull it back blind
Hey hey, we're on our way,
we keep on shouting when the birds collide at night...

So damned sun hits the ceiling
Captain, begin with the healing
So fast wing tips and bullets
Covered thick like a blanket
We'll point fingers at faces
No one near to embrace us
So damned suns hits the ceiling
Two birds, begin with the healing

Hey hey, its not okay to keep you running with a sharp knife
My my, we've gone astray, we got distracted with our own lives
Yea Yea, its new years day, we take the yoke and pull it back blind
Hey hey, we're on our way,
we keep on shouting when the birds collide at night...
