Magpies On Fire

(album: I'm With You Sessions - 2013)

Magpies on fire
Making love like little wolves out on the porch
Can lead to medicine
Oh well, I'm game for anything at all

Scarecrow's a liar
Spins a yarn and no one ever checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon and now it's time to fall

All along it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

All and all it's just the call
Of something wild beyond your room
There's a changing of the major chord
Your minor threat will do, love

My gun misfired
Shot myself instead
I guess I always knew
I'd be the one to lose
That screen door slams
Time to make a move

Help me

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

All and all it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love
A bird who's born to live at half your age, girl
A bird who's never really had a say

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

Least of all she's like a bird
Who's now been freed from someone's cage
