Mimicking Birds
Dead Weight
[Chorus]
I am a corpse, you are a corpse
Look, we're just corpses moving without a course
I'm a corpse, you are a corpse
And we're all the same
I am a corpse, you are a corpse
Yep, we're just corpses moving without a course
And we'll all keep moving
[Verse 1]
Well you know the only dead weight
That exists in the buoyant world today is
The kind that lies in the minds of human beings
You know the only easy way
To get out of the dark end of space unscathed
Is to cling to that shivering orbit until it's complete
[Pre-Chorus]
But war is all around
I see planes fly
Too high in the sky
And we have got to stop
Before we all keel over and die
[Chorus]
I am a corpse, you are a corpse
Look we're just corpses moving without a course
I'm a corpse, you are a corpse
And we're all the same
[Verse 2]
And after the singing and the moving again
Again, we'll all be moving
And the only logical way to maintain your bomb shelters have held their vague [?] shape
Is to [?] or maybe to pray that
They don't know your position and you proceed to invade
Your only sane way to get around all the crowded mounds of arranged waste
Is to decompose as one
Peel off here 'fore their monkey suits reveal burned bones of war
It's supported deep beneath the ground
I hear them marching around
And we have wanted to retreat
Before we bleed more blood in defeat
[Outro]
Someday this will all blow over
You know someday this will all freeze over
And then another day, yeah, this will all boil over
You know someday
Soon, soon
Real soon
Soon
Oh, real soon
