Painted Bird Lyrics - Singles - Siouxsie And The Banshees

On lead-poisoned wings -- you try to sing 

Freak beak shrieks are thrown -- at your confusing hue 

The peacock screaming eyes -- show no mercy no mercy 

Painted bird -- it's absurd 

Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve 

The flock will make you choke -- on this sadistic joke 

And the whippoorwills -- they make a din 

In laughing unison -- you're hitchcock carrion 

In laughing unison -- you're hitchcock carrion 

Carry on

Painted bird -- it's absurd 

Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve 

I hear your sorrow -- maybe tomorrow 

You'll lose your sorrow 

When a fated weather will cleanse away 

That painted feather -- and all that sorrow 

A coquette in fur purr for the painted bird 

Confound that dowdy flock -- with a sharp-honed nerve 

Because we're painted birds by our own design 

By our own design 

And there's no more sorrow 

Photos 

Have you heard -- about the painted bird 

Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve 

We've lost our sorrow -- now it's tomorrow 

No need to hide your feather until a fated weather 

No more sorrow... 

Now we're painted birds -- mocking that twisted nerve 

It's absurd...
