Wings Made Out Of Noise
I jumped out of the window
When the bus fell off the bridge.
I flew up to the treetops,
Watched it burst and slowly sink.
But the sun was slowly setting,
So I went home and had a drink.
But don't laugh.
Don't cry.
Just hear the hounds build
Giant wings
From the noise
Of your goodbyes.
And they found Kevin Winston
Face down in the swimming pool.
He had too much to drink,
And he fell off the diving board.
His girlfriend wasn't crying,
She just said, "His face, it's so blue."
But don't laugh.
Don't cry.
Just hear the hounds build
Giant wings
From the noise
Of your goodbyes.
And they found Elana Boutros
In the trunk of her boyfriend's car.
The note carved in her back said,
"I want a baby wrapped in hundred dollar bills."
Everyone at the office,
They told me that she did snuff films.
But don't laugh.
Don't cry.
Just hear the hounds build
Giant wings
From the noise
Of your goodbyes.
