Murder of Birds(Undressed) - Jesca Hoop/Guy Garvey

I'm not a bird

I'm a murder of birds

Shifting my shape

When your tongue finds the words

Like I hate you when I

Love you the most

Love you the most

Love you the most

This shape of a snake

In a defensive coil

Same retracted lips

Of the one foolish girl

Says she hates you when she

Loves you the most

Loves you the most

Loves you

And I've got demons when I need 'em

Don't ask to see them

They're not supposed to be used

Against you oh

Can we build a safe house

Far from the bitter bride

And we'll make a home with a brown recluse

And the cobra locked outside

For the spider we'll give a web

To the cobra a lullaby

And keeping the demons happy

You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread

And the girl in a turned down bed

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said birds

And I think I'm alone

In desire for grace

Fire only shimmered

And I'm no longer safe

I say "I hate you and I

Love you the most

Love you the most

Love you the most"

This shape of my breast

And a shape of my kiss

Demented coil

With a slither and hiss

I said "I hate you and I

Love you the most

Love you the most

Love you"

And I've got demons when I need 'em

Don't ask to see them

They're not supposed to be used

Against you oh

Can we build a safe house

Far from the bitter bride

And we'll make a home with a brown recluse

And the cobra locked outside

To the spider we'll give a web

To the cobra a lullaby

And keeping the demons happy

You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread

And the girl in a turned down bed

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said

The shape of home baked bread

And the girl in a turned down bed

And a wick of twisted thread

From the loving words you said

'Cause I'm not a bird

I'm a murder of birds
