lyrics

Said the Mockingbird to the Kestrel Girl
I’ve a game we two can play
If you’ll just hold still
It’s your blood I’ll spill
And I’ll bathe in it all day, all day
I will bathe in it all day

For I want your eyes more than cherry pies
And he preens his dandy wings
For they light the night
They’re so big and bright
And I like a shining thing, a thing
Yes, I like a shining thing

Said the Mockingbird to the Kestrel Girl
Won’t you touch this beak of mine?
For it’s as hard as bone
And it’s sharp as stone
And I’ve honed it good and fine, so fine
I have honed it good and fine

For your eyes they glow like a circus show
O the pretty bird he sings
And there ain’t no doubt
That I’ll pluck them out
And I’ll wear them in my rings, my rings
I will wear them in my rings

Said the Kestrel Girl to the Mockingbird
Sir, you cannot be denied
Come and take my claw
Hope into my maw
And I’ll open red and wide, so wide
I will open red and wide

Won’t you settle in where it’s warm and dim
Rest a moment if you dare
’Cause you’re sweet as rain
If a featherbrain
And I like my birdies rare, so rare
Yes, I like my birdies rare
