Here come the darkest birds
To burst the bubble
End of a perfect day
Head full of trouble
Here come the darkest birds
All tar and feathers
Why did none of them dream of trying
To make things better?
Those are the mimicking kind
They are, they are
I number myself among them
The furthest star
And this is the road I walked on
When I shot you down
All words of forgiveness useless
They won't help me now
And I should've been there for you
When you called my name
I promise to tread more lightly
Though what's gone is gone
It's such a shame
Here come the darkest birds
They've got their reasons
All their pretty colours are gone
Washed out of season
Those are the soaring kind
They are, they are
I number yourself among them
The brightest star
And this is the road I walked on
When I shot you down
All words of forgiveness useless
They won't serve me now
And I should've been there for you
When you called my name
I promise to tread more lightly
Though what's done is done
It's such a shame
The Banality Of Evil
I've got me a badge
A bright shiny badge
I'm painting the crest in yellow and blue
I've got me a club
An exclusive club
It doesn't include a place for you
Hey…..hello neighbour
Hey…..hello neighbour, right you are
It's in the way that you walk
All of the changes, all the mistakes
In the demands you constantly make
It's in the way that you grieve
All of the loss
You don't know when you're better off
Or at what cost
