Tunng - Magpie Bites lyrics

The voices in your head have borrowed songs in from the night The bullets in your head have lodged discretely out of sight The broken sticks have found their way into your covered eye The rabbits throat is open underneath the swollen sky The serried ranks of bitter men have turned into the wind The great machines are on their way the ships are rolling in The ravens stand together deep in conversation and A million tiny points of light surround you in the sinking sand Sattelites grow weary and begin to dream aloud Dark machines see clearly for the first time up to now Just like magpies we collect a little bit of each And head towards the place that's always slightly out of reach Air in a softer key Ahh, softest bite Oh, don't you mind? Your breath is to tell You're breathless You're breathless Your breath is to tell All soft is fine Your breath is fine All soft and just.. All skies slip into eternity Subtle lights grow weary and begin to dream aloud Dark machines see clearly for the first time up to now Just like magpies we collect a little bit of each And head towards the place that's always slightly out of reach
