Smog - All Thoughts Are Prey to Some Beast lyrics

The leafless tree looked like a brain The birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me Hoppin' around from branch to branch Or snug in their nests listenin' in An eagle came over the horizon And shook the branches with its sight The softer thoughts: starlings, finches, and wrens The softer thoughts, they all took flight The eagle looked clear through the brain tree Empty he thought, save for me Maybe I'll make this one my home Consolidate the nests of the tiny Raise a family of might like me Then something struck him, wings of bone Sweet desires and soft thoughts were all gone The eagle shrieked, "I'm alone" Well it was time to flee the tree The eagle snuck up on the wind One talon at a time Being sky king of the sky What did he have to fear All thoughts are prey to some beast All thoughts are prey to some beast All thoughts are prey to some beast All thoughts are prey to some beast All thoughts are prey to some beast All thoughts are prey to some beast Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
