Florence + The Machine
Bird Song
Well I didn't tell anyone
But a bird flew by
Saw what I done
He set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I've become
He sang so loud
Sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbors would hear
So I invited him in just to reason with him
I promised I wouldn't do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
And I couldn't get him out
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Stood on it to make it stop
Picked up the bird and above the dim
I a dit "That's the last song you'll ever sing"
Held him down broke his neck
Taught him a lesson he wouildn't forget
Then in my dreams began to creep
That old familiar
"Tweet, Tweet, Tweet"
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waved my arms and flapped about
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
I waved my arms to scream and shout
Waved my arms and flapped about
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
The song was coming from my mouth
From my mouth (x14)

We sit in the car outside your house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
And toi give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well toi let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin' down
We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come accueil early burning, burning in some feu fight
I'm sick and tired of toi setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down
I pull toi close but when we Kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn toi inside out
I used to drive toi to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive toi all around
toi used to l’amour to drive me wild
But lately girl toi get your kicks from just driving me down
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
And toi give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well toi let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin' down
We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come accueil early burning, burning in some feu fight
I'm sick and tired of toi setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down
I pull toi close but when we Kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn toi inside out
I used to drive toi to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive toi all around
toi used to l’amour to drive me wild
But lately girl toi get your kicks from just driving me down
These are the lyrics to florence and the machine cosmic love. Enjoy!
A falling étoile, star fell from your cœur, coeur and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your cœur, coeur beating, toi were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
A falling étoile, star fell from your cœur, coeur and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your cœur, coeur beating, toi were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
toi left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
toi say you've found Heaven but toi can't find God.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
And was it something toi could not stop.
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
When toi leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
And Lost for themselves.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are toi hurting the one toi love?
toi a dit toi got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.
