Magnificent Bird 가사

In a glossy monthly magazine With lush ads hawking luxury I read about a young woman It got me down It described her songs as sorcery Troubled childhood transformed to be Magnificent rare birds Rare birds of sound I felt the pangs of pettiness and jealousy swell in my chest How easy to forget you’re already blessed Envy makes me feel ashamed I suppose that’s why I stepped away For a year clear of the scroll A picc line drip of glowing hearts Righteousness and shopping carts As if it could ever make us whole And when my friends call and tell me that It’s worse than before, friendly fire And hungry for more I don’t know what to say Set those feelings in a drawer Swallowed the key and locked the door And walked right out of the room I put that rare bird’s record on Tried my best to sing along The words were unfamiliar But I could carry the tune
