lyrics

Sycophant to any parrot
Wouldn't you like to pretend
At a voice to echo
Off mountains, through time?
But this one’s mine

Not the world you proclaim, unless it bleeds its heart dry for you
Neither fun nor fair game, till someone loses an eye for you
Great wings black enough to blot out the sky
And you can’t even fly

A prowling, pouncing thing
I smell your terror at the sound of me
Lurking shadows, bewinged
Raving, maddened at just the thought of me

O heavy armoured one
Who needs but the whisper
of a dulled claw
To be made naked as I

O mighty and strong one
Wouldn’t you like this one to tremble
Tailtip to ear tufts
Wings to shatter
Somehow it’s you tumbling from the sky

Not the world you proclaim, unless it bleeds its heart dry for you
Neither fun nor fair game, till someone loses an eye for you
Great wings black enough to blot out the sky
And you can’t even fly
(not that you’ve tried)

It’s not the world you proclaim, unless they bleed their hearts dry for you
Neither fun nor fair game, till someone loses an eye for you
Pigeon, go tell yourself you’re an eagle
You’re still what’s for lunch

It’s you
Who always finds a way
To tumble from the sky

A mysterious creature who, tired of hearing the same themes in music year in and year out, decided to create something altogether stranger.


Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls.
