Thorn Bird

Matthew Good

Sitting here
The ghosts are in the living room
Fire walking backwards
Flesh and blood
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I know someone
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I can hold someone

Streets of Volgograd
Find the Barmaley
Where the war was won
Fire dancing backward
Mortar and mud
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I know someone
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I can hold someone

Got this picture in my head
Of air raids and hurricanes and Halcion
Rivers and foxes and scorpions
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I know someone
Thorn bird fly me anywhere I can love someone
Gonna take a hit no matter what

Got this picture in my head
Of you flying through the air
Over top of me
Got this picture in my head
Of you falling to the ground
Right in front of me
