Those Thieving Birds (part 1) Lyrics - Young Modern - Silverchair

Those thieving birds 

Hang strung from an empty nest 

This swan plagued pond 

Foresaken and under whelmed 

Those leaving words 

Hang strong from an emptiness 

Hang strong from an emptiness 

Those thieving birds 

Hang strung from an empty nest 

Those theiving birds 

This is tearing me apart 

If the Sun won't shine 

Forever will never be fine 

Underneath the hollow ground 

Lies a night time sky 

For only a desperate eye 

When I'm paranoid I see walls behind walls behind walls 

When I'm over joyed I see falls over falls over falls 

When I'm all alone I'll be wary and careful to 

Only eat with uncles 

Never talk to strangers 

God is in the kitchen 

Faking baby dangers 

Not only liked but loved as well 

If this streets air ain't up to par 

I'll take my clothes and take this strange behaviour 

Not only liked but loved as well 

Change whatever karma means 

For the only things that end never truly begin 

If this streets air ain't up to par 

I'll take my clothes and take this strange behaviour 

Not only liked but loved as well 

If this streets air ain't up to par 

I'll take my clothes and take this strange behaviour 

Not only liked but loved as well 

When I'm paranoid I see walls behind walls behind walls 

When I'm over joyed I see falls over falls over falls 

When I'm all alone I'll be wary and careful to 

Only eat with uncles 

Never talk to strangers 

God is in the kitchen 

Faking baby dangers 

If this keeps tearing me apart 

The walls come down won't stop this empty feeling 

For everything apart from this (x3) 

Lonely in life 

Dead or alive 

If the truth had incursions 

No more goodbyes 

No more big lies 

If the truth had versions 

As long as you and I are together 

I'll hold onto the jewellery 

Like staple strapped clenched fist and tongs 

Hang strung from an empty nest 

Those thieving birds (x3) 

Hang strung from an empty nest
