Make a Picture Songtext
von Andrew Bird

Oh, I don′t wanna ride on your shoulders and put you in the hospital
I just wanna roll away boulders that they said it wasn't possible
Don′t you know that I'm an irrepressible life in this world and with the fatal flaw?
Running in the streets with feral cats will be hard to mistake in the years apart
So won't you tell us what you think yourself, tell us what you think yourself
Tell us what you think yourself

Make a picture, make it snappy
Make a picture, don′t look so happy
All those scowling faces, all those furrowed brows
All those burned-out cases, make ′em take a bow (make 'em take)
A bunch of smiling faces, come on and show us out (a bow)
Never mind the braces, love you anyhow
We love you anyhow


I don′t wanna hear what's impossible, falling with the shepherd′s dome
And if we're ever gonna get out of this hospital, you will never sleep alone
Listen to the cries of the wounded, metropolis [?]
Listen to cries of the pliable populous, giving us a dirty look
They′re giving us the dirty looks, dirty looks now
They're giving us the dirty looks

Make a picture, make it snappy
Make a picture, don't look so happy
All those scowling faces, all those furrowed brows
All those burned-out cases, make ′em take a bow (make ′em take)
A bunch of smiling faces, come on and show us out (a bow)
Never mind the braces, love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
Love you anyhow, love you anyhow
Love you anyhow, love you anyhow
