Jaybird

Well, you tried and you tried but you never got better

The cops got confused by your suicide letter

Not outwards, but inwards, used too many big words

It's no surprise your body never was found

I find your body all over this town

Oh, hey Jaybird, well you finally found home

You're a long-time runnin', now you're long-time gone

Hey Jaybird, I'm doin' just fine

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire

I swear I saw your spirit flyin' up above me

Still thinkin' how you'd disappointed everybody

The red rage of doomsday came to your lips

But you never had the guts to be the protagonist

No Dungeons and Dragons protagonist

And, hey Jaybird, well you finally found home

You're a long-time runnin', now you're long-time gone

Hey Jaybird, I'm doin' just fine

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire

So wipe clean the slate and roll away the stone

The day has evil enough on its own

I see the Jaybird sittin' on his trashcan throne

Oh, who am I to sing before I know the song?

I'm always gonna sing before I know the song

Oh, who am I to sing before I know the song?

I'm always gonna sing before I know the song

Oh, hey Jaybird, well you finally found home

You're a long-time runnin', now you're gone, gone, gone

Hey Jaybird, I'm doin' just fine

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire

My head is a wreck and my chest's on fire
