Andrew Bird - Cataracts lyrics

[Andrew Bird - Cataracts lyrics]

When our mouths are filled with
Uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining
For their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats

And they shall enter from the back
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks
Scribs and tangles between their ears
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears, oh dear

Through the coppice and the chaparral
The thickets thick with mold
The bracken and the brier
Catchweed into the fold

When our mouths are filled with
Uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining
For their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats
The light will fill our eyes like cats
Cataracts
