Meticulous Bird Songtext
von Thao & the Get Down Stay Down

I don′t know who's getting any
I don′t know who's giving
But a-what a pity such a pretty city bears no children

I don't see them on the runway
They bus them in on Sunday
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 my, oh my, oh my, oh!

Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
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'll 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 alliance of violence to vow against
Not what I dreamed, 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
Why deny? Why, why deny? (I take my body back, I take my body back)
Why deny? Why, why deny? (I take my body back, 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
