Meticulous Bird - THAO, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

I don’t know who’s getting any

I don’t know who’s giving

What a, what a pity, such a pretty city

Bears no children

I don’t see them on the runway

They bus them in on Sundays

The visitors are meeting to decide

If you can come stay

Why deny, why why deny

Why deny, why why deny

I chase a stone cold thief

With a regular grab

I find the scene of the crime

I take my body back

I, I resent the invention

Listen, listen pay attention

I know the science of the fiction

Of conviction of the henchmen

I am here for the masterminds

They told us that you sold us

Oh my oh my oh my god

We didn’t know you’d get ferocious

Oh my oh my

Oh my god

You didn’t know I’d get ferocious

Oh my, oh my, oh

Why deny, why why deny

Why deny, why why deny

I chase a stone cold thief

With a regular grab

I find the scene of the crime

I take my body back

I chase a stone cold thief

With a regular grab

I find the scene of the crime

I take my body back

Grow my hair so long

To wrap around you

I grow my hair so long

To wrap around you

You’ve been starving for air

Ever since I found you

You had a dalliance with valiance

A violence to vow against

Not what I dream

Not what I dreamt

Not what I mean

Not how I meant

We ate like birds

Seeds and things

Hunting only for

Seasoning

I planned on no problems

To punctuate my stay

Now I perch above you

Meticulous bird of prey

Now I perch above you

Meticulous bird of prey

Why deny, why why deny

Why deny, why why deny

I find the scene of the crime

I take my body back

I find the scene of the crime

I take my body back

Grow my hair so long

To wrap around you

You’ve been starving for air

Ever since I found you

Grow my hair so long

To wrap around you

Grow my hair so long

To wrap around you
