lyrics

Mockingbird, have you heard
No one likes your singing
The devil's tale in beauty veiled
Left my eardrums ringing

Scissor-tail, fair and pale
Back in Oklahoma
Though I roam, I will soon be home
Never to ignore you

Fuck the jay's theiving ways
When thrashers die in weeds
Stole the nest to my breast
To meet the babies needs

Robin thrush, miss me much
Back in Oklahoma
Though I roam, I will soon be home
Never to ignore you

Sure as hell wish I could quell
My migratory patterns
It's safe to say I'd like to stay
With residential matters

Sure as hell wish I could quell
My migratory patterns
