After The Blackbird Sings - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
I'm finding it hard,

Just to keep up with someone

Who's hangin' onto nothin'

Only to lose what's never mine.


And I'm finding it hard

Just to keep up with something

That's hangin' on to nothin'

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


Pretty Angel,

She bites the hands of the lion,

Ties it up with ribbon,

Watches as hound dogs

Bang on her drums, drums.


It's so, it's so easy for you to love nobody,

It's so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore.

I seen this girl

She had her hands full of lightning,

She 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 carnivals girl,

Up on a ferris wheel forever, forever.


It's so easy for you to love nobody,

It's 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

But after the Blackbird sings

Is the song, the song.


It's just so easy,

It's just so easy for you to love nobody,

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