Metallic Birds

Intro

Uh-huh

Well

Right

Verse 1

Prying the lid off

The blue sky has got a loose screw

Metallic birds are hovering low

Over the trailer park where nobody sleeps

Tuning the radio dials to find

Nothing but high frequency

Hissing and clicking

Everything's gold but it’s melting down

Pre-Chorus

They don’t need roads

They don’t need skin

They don’t need anything we got

Chorus

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

They’re coming for the junk we keep

Collecting the dirt from the kitchen bins

Oh yeah

Well we’re just cosmic trash

Just some galactic ash

Verse 2

Gray fingers tapping

Tracing out the map on the hood

Polished chrome reflected in my eyes

Stuck in a ditch with the headlights dimming

Satellite signals are dropping out

Fast as a heavy stone

Gone

Leaving the air feeling thinner

Pre-Chorus

They don’t need words

They don’t need hearts

They don’t need anything we got

Chorus

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

They’re coming for the junk we keep

Collecting the dirt from the kitchen bins

Oh yeah

Well we’re just cosmic trash

Just some galactic ash

Bridge

Maybe they’re lonely

Maybe they’re hungry

Maybe they’re just bored like me

Looking for a way to breathe

Looking for a way to leave

Looking for a way to stay out late

Chorus

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

Staring at the ceiling while the saucer spins

They’re coming for the junk we keep

Collecting the dirt from the kitchen bins

Oh yeah

Well we’re just cosmic trash

Just some galactic ash
