We’ve got your number old man
Bald spots through the trees
Keep making those perches
It won’t buy you peace
We’re watching you, little squab, little squab
Growing feathers where the hair should be
We just wanna know
Are you on our team?
Are you on our side
or our territory?
We’re watching you, little squab, little squab
Growing feathers where the hair should be

i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
overflowing oestrogen
type of ovum: avian
crows and ravens by my side, all the night
my elusion the desire
aviation the design
there’s no illusion, just a fire, justified.
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
i wonder if the winners are here tonight
in the forest all alone
that’s the treaty i call home
with all the functions but the phone, but the phone
in my sleep i leave the room
fly away towards the womb
wings outstretched
i’m a witch without the broom

Get your mitts off of me
Get your beaks out of my face, alright
Get your teeth out of me
Get your claws off of my lawn, alright
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
I’m not of this world
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
the same way I came in: alone
Get your mitts off of me
Get your beaks out of my face, alright
Get your knives out of me
Get your eyes off of my plate, alright
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
I’m not of this world
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
the same way I came in: alone

It’s gonna sound like a thousand peacock feathers
It’s gonna sound like a pyramid exploding bricks
It’s gonna sound like the arctic waking up
It’s gonna sound like guacharos, guacharos!
Hey
I just swallowed a key
It’s not the one to your house
but it’s the one that you gave me
It’s gonna sound like a starry night shattered
It’s gonna sound like the Coreolis forced backward
I’m gonna sleep on a thousand pillows stuffed
with all the hair that you ever lost
Put it in the basket
Put it in the nest
In my own way, I’ve built a window
Hey
I just swallowed a key
It’s not the one to your house
but it’s the one that you gave me
Owls’ wing
Crows’ sing
Bees’ sting
All in their own way
Don’t mess with my nest!

Aaarrgh!!!
There’s feathers everywhere
There’s feathers everywhere
There’s sleet and snow and black and white bones I swear
There’s breadcrumbs everywhere
There’s breadcrumbs everywhere
Those breadcrumbs lead the walls inside and now I’m scared
I was walking through the woods and I swear I didn’t...
Aaarrgh!!!
There’s feathers everywhere
There’s feathers everywhere
Confetti rice and pixels in a black white dream
There’s feathers everywhere
There’s feathers everywhere
There’s yellow eyes tearing thin stripes from me
I was walking through the woods and I swear I didn’t see...

Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
It’s a carousel current
Horses glide by
There’s beacons behind
One step to the side and –
It’s a carousel current
Horses fly by
So many lights behind
One step to the side and –
Dope a horse high
Dope a horse high
Dope a horse high
and you wonder why he jumped the fence
The carousel keeps coming
with trap doors, trap doors
These legs still spinning
with snakes and ladders
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Run rhea, run rhea, run rhea, run...
Dope a horse high
Dope a horse high
Dope a horse high
and you wonder why he jumped the fence
You keep stoking the joker
You keep stoking the joker
You keep stoking the joker
and he’ll one day leave the room
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go
Wind him up and watch him go

i don’t think no i don’t think
because i know because i know
that when i jump when i jump
all the sorrow all the sorrow will go
no they can’t follow no they can’t follow
where i’m headed where i’m headed is bliss
i see the night i see the sky
the ground in front is running out
can you see me?
yeah i can see you
can you see me?
yeah i can see you
can you see me can you see me now?
in the air
over the handlebars and into the sky
your flaming torches gave me a runway
and now i’m leaving
it’s finally time to migrate
i see seagulls
i see three gulls
i see monsters going into the sea
can you see me?
yeah i can see you
can you see me?
yeah i can see you
can you see me can you see me now?
in the air
over the handlebars and into the sky

Punching Swans Kent, UK
Wonky, mischievous noise-rock from London/Kent UK.
If you like Punching Swans, you may also like:
supported by 14 fans who also own “Nesting”
Sure, it's easy to say they sound like Steve Albini with some delay, but that really misses the bigger picture: Albini never used delay. They guys are doing some things that Steve never thought to and that's worth a listen.
