The magpie comes a-calling Drops a marble from the sky Tin roof sounds alarming Wake up child "Let this be a warning," says the magpie to the morning Don't let this fading summer pass you by Don't let this fading summer pass you by Black hands held so high The vulture wheels and dives Something on the thermals yanked his chain He smelled your boring apex Rotting on the train tracks He laughed under his breath Because you thought you could outrun sorrow Take your own advice ‘Cause thundering and lightning gets you rain Run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain A diamond at the bottom of the drain [And here I go] Mockingbirds sing in the middle of the night All his songs are stolen, so he hides Stole the mouth from whippoorwills, screaming car alarms He sings, "I'm four years special" He knows you're afraid of the dark Come on sorrow, take your own advice Hide under the bed, turn out the light The stars this night in the sky are ringing out You can almost hear them saying: Close your eyes now kid Close your eyes now kid Morning's teeth are lit They are waiting, waiting Oh, they are waiting |
