lyrics

Pigeons – Ben Burns

Often times these nights will end in front of me
Sleeping in our coat our throats are sunderly
We can see where our knees hit the road
Running free through the empty tree grove

He built his bed small so he could sleep alone
High above the pigeons and the telephones
Out at sea where the cedar boats row
Down the breeze from the places we’ve known
He believes that the circles do flow
Round his head leaned against the window

All I’ve become is the sum of everyone
And our feet grow tired when lonely is the standard
From all of what I’ve seen of your dancing on the screen
Still I do believe we may be better strangers


I know life ain’t lonely but lonesome
And I’d spread my love like fire if I owned some
Then one day I would take your fingers
From the cheeks that grin to speak these wrong words

If the city spits them whole then they’ll be bound to roam
If we can catch them while their skin is still tight round their bones
Then we’ll see how the leaves blow tumbling
From the holes in concrete streets we live in
That we tripped inside while we were fumbling
With all your keys so we could let you back in

All I’ve become is a monger for the sunlight
Through the cracks in walls where lonely is the standard
From all of what I’ve seen of your dancing so obscene
Still I do believe we may be better strangers
