Magpie comes a-calling, drops a marble from the sky

Black hands held so high, the vulture wheels and dives

Something on the thermals yanked his chain

Smelled your boring apex rotting on the train tracks

This thundering and lightning gets you rain

You run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition

To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain

A diamond at the bottom of the drain

Mockingbird sings     in the middle of the night

All his songs are stolen so he hides

   C          G        F             F
He stole them out from whippoorwills

    C         G    F     F
And screaming car alarms
[Bridge]

  He sings them for you special

"Close your eyes now kid"

"Close your eyes now kid"

Morning's teeth are lit

They are waiting
