[Verse 1] On lead-poisoned wings You try to sing Freak beak shrieks are thrown At your confusing hue The peacock screaming eyes Show no mercy Oh, no mercy
[Chorus] Painted bird It's absurd Just a tainted bird Hurting their twisted nerve Painted bird It's absurd Just a tainted bird Hurting their twisted nerve Painted bird
[Verse 2] The flock will make you choke On this sadistic joke And the whippoorwills They make a din In laughing unison You're hitchcock carrion In laughing unison You're hitchcock carrion, carry on
[Chorus] Painted bird It's absurd Just a tainted bird Hurting their twisted nerve Painted bird It's absurd Just a tainted bird Hurting their twisted nerve Painted bird
[Bridge] I hear your sorrow Maybe tomorrow You'll lose your sorrow When a fated weather will cleanse away That painted feather And all that sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Ooh
[Verse 3] 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 And there's no more sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
[Chorus] Have you heard About the painted bird Just a tainted bird Hurting their twisted nerve We've lost our sorrow Now it's tomorrow-morrow No need to hide your feather Until a fated weather No more sorrow, sorrow We've lost our sorrow Now we're painted birds Mocking that twisted nerve Painted birds It's absurdTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
