Wash The Day Lyrics

Wash The Day lyrics

Little flightless metal birds

High above in limbless tree

Echoes
from their tiny box

Ring out into the atmosphere

Creating beauty
inadvertently



It was a technological feat



This little
bird



Wading through the market's waste

We locked eyes felt
our loneliness abate

True desire showed its face, but only
momentarily



Grey cascades in foreign waves

Wash the day
away



I bought you flowers from the dying woods of Brazil

This little bird

While the kids burned down the greenhouse pushed the
charred frame into the landfill

Put his beak to the word

We bought
new bodies we bought diamond encrusted guns

So who the hell are you?

Making out so high in the backseat of a car-bomb under carcinogenic sun



Grey cascades in foreign waves 

Wash the day away

Grey
cascades in foreign waves



We did believe in magic we did
believe

We let our souls act as canaries

Our hearts gilded cages
be



Watched a million dimming lanterns float out to sea

Lay
your malady at the mouth of the death machine



Aeroplane odabo,

Ba mi ki won lo odabo.

Eko meji, o yo mi

O yo mi

O yo mi



Grey cascades in foreign waves 

Wash the day away

Grey
cascades in foreign waves
