Robyn Hitch***** - Acid Bird Lyrics
Sucking on a tap that never driesCould you take it right between your eyesBending blood, bending bloodThe father stood, the father's hoodLike shadow on an acid bird that etched her way across a fieldSo long ago, so longWalking through the fields in summer heatLook at all the creatures 'round your feetPumping blood, pumping bloodThe mother's gaze, the mother gaveWhite ointment of an acid kiss that burned upon the lips shegave youSo long ago, so long agoFun in the sun, luck in the bloodstreamShallow bodies writhing on the grassFun in the sun, hair in the slipstreamTadpoles shooting through a hollow glassCutting out a silhouette in dreamsEverything is older than it seemsSon of blood, son of bloodThe baby shakes, the baby snakesThat crawl across the acid rings that flicker from yourcorpusclesOne sunny day, one sunny dayFun in the sun everyone knows itThey could be as mellow as the hayFun in the sun everyone blows itThey grow up and instantly turn greyLike shadow of an acid bird that etched its way across a fieldSo long ago, so long ago
