Acid Bird

Sucking on a tap that never dries
 Could you take it right between your eyes?
 Bending blood, bending blood
 The father stood, the father's hood
 Black shadow on an acid bird that etched her way across a field
 So long ago
 Walking through the fields in summer heat
 Look at all the creatures 'round your feet
 Pumping blood, pumping blood
 The mother gave, the mother gave
 White ointment of an acid kiss that burned upon the lips she gave you
 So long ago
 So long ago
 Fun in the sun, luck in the bloodstream
 Shallow bodies writhing on the grass
 Fun in the sun, hair in the slipstream
 Tadpoles shooting through a hollowed glass
 Cutting out a silhouette of dreams
 Everything is older than it seems
 Son of blood, son of blood
 The baby shakes the baby snakes
 That crawl across the acid rings that flicker from your corpuscles
 One sunny day
 One sunny day
 Fun in the sun, everyone knows it
 They could be as mellow as the hay
 Fun in the sun, everyone blows it
 They grow up and instantly turn grey
 Black shadow of an acid bird that etched its way across a field
 So long ago
 So long ago
 Ah
