Deloris - Bird Pictures lyrics

Bird pictures and lamps Pins that stripe on her pants Skylight snapshots of trees A doona and controlled heating Her breath And me She's asking if I'm so sure that i'm fair She's actually searching for her words in the air And I'm wondering if a chest-bone can tear And the clouds are like air-ships Each one spiralling down In flames and chrome linings I'm sorry if your feet weren't on the ground I'm complaining about what I haven't heard So she's talking about the spaces between words But I'm not so sure There's even those anymore When they mean that I have to say all this When like feathers The salt just rolls off her lips When they sound Like snapping wings And the clouds are like air-ships Each one spiralling down In flames and chrome linings I'm sorry that your feet weren't on the ground Bird pictures and lamps She's stroking her hands And talking little details she had planned So I'm unhooking her birds She says she wants to leave me only hurt But I've got her hair All over my shirt
