Magpies on Fire

Magpies on fire

Makin' 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 in 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[Verse 3]

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 in 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

Yeah!

What more do you want?

How much more can you take?

I love my mistakes

I've been here before[Outro]

Least of all she's like a bird

Who's now been freed from someone's cage
