Painted Bird (Workhouse Demo)

On the poison wings, you try to sing
Freaks in streaks of gold, at your confusing hue
The peek of screaming eyes, heard a mercy, oh
No mercy, oh

Painted bird, it's absurd
It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt
Painted bird, it's absurd
It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt

The park will make its show, a sadistic joke
And the whippoorwills, they make a din
In laughing unison, your hitchcock carrion
In laughing unison, your hitchcock carrion, carrion

Painted bird, it's absurd
It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt
Painted bird, it's absurd
It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt

I hear your sorrow
Maybe tomorrow, tomorrow, you'll lose your sorrow
When the painted feather will cleanse away
That painted feather, and all that sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Whoa-oh

A cop getting burnt for the painted bird
And found that healthy flock with a shock all run
Because the painted bird, by her own design
By her own design, there's no more sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Whoa-oh

Have you heard about the painted bird?
It's a tainted bird, bird in the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt
Painted bird, it's absurd
Now a tainted bird mocking the twisted dirt, dirt, dirt

We heard your sorrow
Now tomorrow, tomorrow, we've lost that sorrow
Painted bird, it's absurd
Now a tainted bird mocking the twisted dirt
Painted bird, it's absurd
