Bird and the Serpent Songtext
von Interpol

Three-shot certainty, that′s amateur hour
Got the resource that you need, thumbin' the drought
As long as somebody knows this
As long as somebody goes

We stock dirty, this ain′t amateur hour
Got the freeform in-between, running the south
As long as somebody changes
As long as somebody goes

It's fine to kill someone in showbiz
The trick is just don't bring it home
Yeah, you like that?
Ring the bell, my dear

On must we go, these nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, sadness
I′ll lead you there, I′ll see you coming
You're righteous when things get too hard


The bird and the serpent, they ain′t balancin' out
Gonna work ′til I'm certain, I ain′t dealin' in doubt
As long as somebody poses
As long as somebody's told

Where did you go? It′s like I′m drawn to nowhere
We room with changelings, so how did we go there?
We let somebody build this
Now it's somebody′s home

On must we go, these nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, sadness
I'll lead you there, I′ll see you coming
You're righteous when things get too hard
It′s my hand to stay
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond

Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Maybe somebody made this
Maybe somebody knows
Maybe somebody made this
Maybe somebody knows


On must we go, these nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, rapture
I'll lead you there, I'll see you coming
You′re righteous when things get too hard
It′s my hand to stay
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond

I'll leave you there, I′ll see you coming
These days we all take to heart
It's my hand to throw
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond
