No Bad News

Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore
 Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor
 Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door
 Someone lovely and she's bringing bad news
 She clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs
 Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs
 And showing such fear at being found unawares
 To be here and be bringing bad news
 Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
 Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
 Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
 And she had to bring here this
 Well, she's told, "Hold your buttons and look at the sky
 Someone will fix things if you let your face dry
 Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high
 And you may transcend the bad news"
 Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
 Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
 Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
 And she had to bring here this
 For all hammers and nails
 For all leaves and winds
 For all love ambitions
 And enemies and friends
 She shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go
 She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow
 And her voice it decays and before it does she goes,
 "I will never again deliver bad news"
 Something bad happens and a lot of people go
 Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
 Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
 And she had to bring here this
 Mm, hey little bird – hey little bird
 Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
 Hey little bird – hey little bird
 Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
 (Hey little bird – hey little bird)
 Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)
