FOR THE BIRDS Lyrics by BIG SPECIAL

POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES

2024

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
We were supposed to be young
Half cold and completely severed
I left my days outside for the birds
Everyone is searching beyond meaning
But not listening beyond words
We were supposed to be young
Now the old roads are paved with graves
The birds flew off with my days
Everyone is building without purpose
And I'm here smoking on a fat lip
With a cold, cancerous taste
We were supposed to be young
Fresh-faced and completely rotten
I left my days outside for the birds
We were supposed to be bold
But not bold beyond words
We were supposed to be free
But not free beyond words
We were supposed to be young
They leave our days outside for the birds
Chirk it up to hopeful youth and never dream beyond words
Look love!
Look how far we've come!
Wash me down with the things we've done
I know I'll never be clean
For once I'll tape on moon blue
Painters with their fingers will do
And take us through what we've never seen
