Poor Bruised World Lyrics - Singles - Judybats

I try to sleep outside of myself 

Absorb some of the shock 

All l the world is unwinding 

Like some heartless old clock 

Look to the sky for judgment 

And all you get is rain 

Searching every eye for prophecy 

And all I see is pain 

They say the forests full of rain 

Will never come again 

Businessmen want a road 

Through another big place 

CHORUS 

Poor bruised world 

Poor bruised world 

Poor bruised world 

Poor bruised world 

Poor bruised you 

Poor bruised me 

Poor bruised world 

I saw a picture of a pretty bird 

In a nature magazine 

Said these birds, now they're all gone 

Well that's really obscene 

Ah, the pictures never taken 

Of a future we never had 

I should've taken that one of you 

(That day in the park) and now I feel bad 

Lately I feel something dark 

Turning in this century 

A little something more 

Than my own pop history 

CHORUS 

"Birds, please"
