After the Blackbird Sings

Findin' it hard just to hang onto someone

Who's hangin' onto nothin'

Only to lose what's never mine

And I'm findin' it hard just to keep up

With somethin' that's hangin' onto nothin'

To keep all these chains tied and in line, in line

Now, pretty angel

She bites the hands of the lion

Ties it up wth ribbon

Watches as hound dogs bang on her drums, drums

So, so easy for you to love nobody

So easy for you 'cause you're not tryin' anymore

I seen this girl, she had her hands full of lightning

Rolled it down to me

A Lolita smile with a thorn in her eyes

Now she, she spun the world up

On the edge of a pearl, a carnival's girl

Up on a ferris wheel forever, forever

So easy for you to love nobody

So easy for you 'cause you're not tryin' anymore

Just don't try anymore

Now she, she howled like an owl only to fall

Like a sparrow and lay beside the scarecrow

After the blackbird sings us the song, the song

It's just so

It's just so easy for you to love nobody

It's just so for you 'cause you're not tryin' anymore
