Andrew Bird - The Nightshade Gets in It lyrics
[Andrew Bird - The Nightshade Gets in It lyrics]
Like in fit's and dizzy spells
Like the weather
And it blows
Like it knows what's going wrong
Like it's clever
Has a name but the name goes unspoken
Weather vanes were all twisted and broken
So soldier on, soldier on
Flailing to the whir of a snack machine
And muted screams of an old regime
And then oh something gets in it
The nightshade gets in it
We were all fast asleep
Were all so fast asleep but, you woke us
You woke us from the strangest dream
That an aubergine could ever know
Would ever know
Lava flows over crooks and craggy
Cliffs to the ocean and explodes in a steam
Heat fevered cyclical motion has a name
But the name goes unspoken it's in vain
Cause the language is broken
So cast your own, cast your own soldier on
