Brown Bird
Patiently Awaiting
[Verse 1]
Patiently awaiting her insatiably strange
Daily disposition to embellish the range
Of superficial flattery for anything nice
He rolls his eyes accordingly
And swallows his favorite vice
He wanders out to howl at the moon
Understandably regretting he had entered the room
When suddenly he turns into stone
His mind between the nothing
And everything that he's ever known
[Chorus]
The sky is splitting open
The stars are spinning 'round
His spirit's in the heavens
And his head's on the ground
Time was disappearing
Through the crack in the sky
When he rose up to his feet
And shouted every scene
That came to his eyes
[Verse 2]
Incredulously stepping outdoors
She wonders if she's ever seen him sober before
At times the definition of an eloquent man
Tonight he daftly rambles like a feeble inebriate can
[Chorus]
The sky is splitting open
The stars are spinning 'round
His spirit's in the heavens
And his head's on the ground
Time was disappearing
Through the crack in the sky
When he rose up to his feet
And shouted every scene
That came to his eyes
