pretty pocket snatchers - no bird sing lyrics
verse:
holes in them pockets
where’d all that money go?
followed that trail of thieves
right past their pot of gold
named all their colors, how
saw past those rows of t–th
reached down inside their mouths and broke out that joy d’vive
i heard the beast sprung the bells
save his cell for quiet nights
when riot lights ‘ are all that’s left
to flood the broken soldier’s head
build his dam without the cracks
and let the actor dry off ‘ fly north to a nice soft bed
it’s all over let’s pretend we used those cartoon wings to get to heaven –
instead of this sad excuse for a ladder
so when they ask us why we’re low on cash
we’ll act like it’s a [crime] to wanna walk an honest [mile or two] in someone else’s shoes/
so lady play the blues ‘ when you sing that morning news paper ‘ move type
letter by ‘ letter by ‘ letter by severed hype
you saw us get tripped and pushed against the wall
now you talk like you never saw us fall
chorus:
why those pretty pocket sn-tchers got thrown back against the wall
verse:
the tenderest of b-ttons are the ones along the wall
it’s nothing that gets talked about much along on the wall
what a small twist of fate to paint your roses such a lousy grey
reminds me of a time before i learned to love a cloudy day
i met the son of man at the edge of june
he took july like he still had something left to prove
stone crazy ‘ he’s taken now to august skies
to rearrange the dark inside the stars ‘til they apologize
they’re never saying sorry ‘ would only make it worse
they won’t play dead ‘ unless he plays it first
they’re waiting for their story
waiting for their climb and they been waiting for a real long time
outro:
you never play the blues ‘ when you sing that morning news paper ‘ move type
letter by ‘ letter by ‘ letter by severed hype
you saw us get tripped and pushed along the wall
now you talk like you never saw us fall
you saw us get tripped and pushed along the wall
but you talk like you never saw us fall
