To Kill a Mockingbird Songtext
von Branson Anderson

I′ll plant a feather
And grow me a bird or two
I'll write a letter
And build me a word for you
My vultures will scavenge me
Each and every time I speak
Violently ravaged
With my flesh
Between their beaks
Ohhh

I′m out of town chasing
All of the fresh debutantes
In all the places where
My poor lonely ghost haunts
I never met a Makenzie
That I did not want


In this cosmic haystack
I believe that I found a needle
The world is so lonesome a place
Because it's full of people
The constant beauty surrounding me
Is ugly alone
So give it to someone who has
Someone of their own
Ohhh

I'm out of town chasing
All of the fresh debutantes
In all the places where
My poor lonely ghost haunts
I never met a Makenzie
That I did not want

One sided extortion
I pimp myself out to the masses
My mind has abortions that leave only
Death colored glasses
Oh God, forgive me
For all of the sorry I′ve felt
Am I going to hell for someting
That just cannot be helped
Ohhh


I′m out of town chasing
All of the fresh debutantes
In all the places where
My poor lonely ghost haunts
I never met a Makenzie
That I did not want

These Mockingbird's wings have been clipped
But still at me they laugh
Though mothers would smother their babes
To taste freedom I have
As great as I am is as evil
As I could become
So don′t toy with my darkness, darling
Unless you're prepared to run
Runnn

I′m out of town chasing
All of the fresh debutantes
In all the places where
My poor lonely ghost haunts
I never met a Makenzie
That I did not want
