Painted Bird Lyrics by Siouxie And The Banshees

Painted Bird Lyrics

    On lead poisoned wings you try to sing
    Freak beak shrieks are thrown at your confusing hue
    The peacock screaming eyes show no mercy no mercy


    Painted bird it's absurd
    Just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve


    The flock will make you choke on this sadistic joke
    And the whippoorwills they make a din
    In laughing unison you're hitchcock carrion
    Carry on


    Painted bird it's absurd
    Just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve


    I hear your sorrow maybe tomorrow
    You'll lose you sorrow
    When a fated weather will cleanse away
    That painted feather and all that sorrow


    A coquette in fur purr for the painted bird
    Confound that dowdy flock with a sharp honed nerve
    Because we're painted birds by our own design
    By our own design there's no more sorrow


    Have you heard about the painted bird
    Just a tainted bird hunting their twisted nerve


    We've lost our sorrow now it's tomorrow
    No need to hide your feather under a fated weather
    No more sorrow...


    Now we're painted birds mocking that twisted nerve
