Jake Wesley Rogers – Dark Bird Lyrics

Dark Bird Lyrics by Jake Wesley Rogers

[Intro]
Like the dark bird

[Verse 1]
I didn’t learn it from the righteous one
I learned it from the preacher’s son
Askin’ Lucifer in Sunday school
To help me stretch before I run
Say goodbye to Mona Lisa
‘Cause she’s jumpin’ out the frame, jumpin’ out the frame
Goodbye, family, sad to leave you
But I’m killin’ yesterday, killin’ yesterday

[Chorus]
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love ’til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh

[Verse 2]
I saw a ravеn on a stranger’s arm
I asked them whеre they got it from
They said the eagle was so evil
That he hid the sun from everyone
So the raven stole the light back and
He gave it all away, gave it all away
Goodbye, family, sad to leave you
But I’m killin’ yesterday, killin’ yesterday

[Chorus]
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love ’til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird
Get your colors from the thrift store
Trade your halo for a pitchfork
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh
Oh, eh

[Bridge]
It’s a fine, fine line between a man and a monster
Fine, fine line between a lover and a friend
Fine, fine line between divine and disaster
It never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ends
Oh (It’s a fine, fine line)
And it never, never, never, never

[Chorus]
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love ’til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird
Get your candles from the drug store
Draw a circle in the dirt floor
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh

[Outro]
Like the dark bird, oh
