Meticulous Bird Lyrics - Man Alive - Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

I don't know who's getting any 

I don't know who's giving 

But a what a pretty such a pretty city 

There's no children 

I don't see them on the runway 

They bust them in on Sunday 

The visitors are meeting to decide 

If you can come stay 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab 

I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back 

I-I resent the invention 

Listen, listen, pay attention 

I know the science of the fiction 

Of conviction of the henchmen 

I am here for the masterminds 

They told us that you sold us 

Oh my, oh my, oh my god 

We didn't know you'd get ferocious 

Oh my, oh my, oh my god 

You didn't know I'd get ferocious 

Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh! 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab 

I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back 

I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab 

I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back 

Grow my hair so long to wrap around you 

I grow my hair so long to wrap around you 

You've been starving for air ever since I found you 

You had a dalliance with alliance 

Of violence to bow against 

Not what I dreamed, not what I dreamt 

Not what I mean, not how I meant 

We ate like birds, seeds and things 

Hunting only for seasoning 

I planned on no problem to punctuate my stay 

Now I perch above you, meticulous bird of prey 

Now I perch above you, meticulous bird of prey 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back 

I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back 

(I take my body back, I take my body back) 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

(I take my body back, I take my body back) 

Why deny? Why, why deny? 

Grow my hair so long to wrap around you 

You've been starving for air ever since I found you 

Grow my hair so long to wrap around you 

Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
