A Boxful of Birds Lyrics by Autistic Daughters

Jealousy and Diamond

2004

Said you'd got nowhere to go to
Coming part
In the streets below
And Louise
A heir to a fortune
Trips on the doorstep
Sits in the show room
And she is calling me something
A low cost stand-in
For playing a part in
Performance art
What you've got your hand in
I was not accepting
Your lack of conviction
It's a Chinese Christmas
For all of the children
Who sat at the table
Polishing their shoes
While quietly thinking
Right where they're sitting
And decisively scheming
"How I wish life could be...
How I wish I could meet..."
So come on shame sing your name
I know who you say you are
Outside society
I love you, my love
Did you dare to think of the significance
Of the mess you got us in
When holy joy and leather boy
Are dancing in your kitchen
We just standing here holding fire
Word in the street is that it's already June
A crippled Chinese businessman
Is spitting on your shoes
"Don't split your wrist, careerist"
I said, "I wish life could be"
Just between the two of us
I'm irrecoverably free
I'm unfeasibly free
I'm unreasonably free
Without a reason to be
