lyrics
I’ve got a bird in my open mouth
and there's a tongue waiting to come out
and lick your eyes, all over sad faces alone
I don't know how I got so far
I licked her lips and turned to a star
I shine over madness restrained
but they forgot my name
Like useless tongues, they don't care
they spent the night, and I'm licking her hair
and I know it's not where they thought we'd be
in a light, slow one
I can't have birds, cause I am a cat
I’ve got a feather in my hat
but I bit my tongue, like my lovers before
so I left them alone
Like broken flight they go limp
they spent the night, so we wake up to this
I know it's not quite what they might've expected of me
Open wide for the night to close in
my saliva that clings to your skin
Cozy meow while we dine on the steps
I drew pictures of you while you slept
Eyes like lighthouses peering in rows
i will shower her with kisses and snow
