Young Fathers - Ebony Sky lyrics

Bird in the hand, two in the bush
Define your intentions in truth
Abandon abandon
But never ever say what you ran from
Staring at the fragments
In your sleep laughing
Thought crime champion take another Ambien
Back to the wall but
The ceiling's still cracking

Young, unassuming, eucalyptus blooming
Masquerade of masochists said I'm only human
Five past eleven, ten past dead
Twenty to the hour til the hour spells dread
Fortunes to the killer who's
Convinced he's a healer
Give a smile to the patient
You know the connotation
Maggot in the mallet
Feel the force of the malice
Killer cannot cut it cos he
Could not get the credit

I spy ebony sky
She's looking for love
She's looking for love

I am the lion, the lamb
Turn on the faucet, let the gas blast
Counterfeit emotion from a womanizer
Booze on her body, a one two timer
Hand prints left on a contender
Signs of a winner, you'll always remember
Homegrown, living on the throne
Let it be known, beholder unknown

I spy ebony sky
She's looking for love
She's looking for trouble
In the wrong places in the wrong places

She's looking for love
She's looking for trouble
In the wrong places in the wrong places
She's looking for love
She's looking for trouble
In the wrong places in the wrong places
