David Hodgman - Birds Of Paradise Lost
The dust is starting to settle, the cobwebs are creeping upThe lawn's getting long, rust infecting the metal
The windows and blinds are all shut
The photos are fading in the frames, the paint it is starting to peel
The fruit starts to spot, turns to liquor with rot
The elephants get drunk in the field
The batteries return to acid
The reactors are starting to fail
Flooded subways and sinkholes, cracked lenses, bleached film rolls
The donkey is searching for its tail
The desert is quenched beneath the ice
And Venus is starting to glow
Palm trees and downtowns, stone castles and gold crowns
Play their intransigent role
Dry and cracked, broken in the ash
Cool and restful spring forest moss
Where the river still runs between daughters and sons
And the birds of paradise lost
And the birds of paradise lost
And the birds of paradise lost
