lyrics

Choking on the birds of paradise
Taste all the colors by design
Big feast before your eyes
Is just a crow glorified
They’ll flip and roll
Lose control
Shape shift until your gaze is fixed
Mesmerize the little mice
Pull off the disguise

And hold my gloves

Choking on the birds of paradise
Calm eyes hide a wolf appetite
This treat you can't repeat
Throw your bones off to the side

They’ll flip and roll
Lose control
Shapeshift until your gaze is fixed
Mesmerize the little mice
Pull off the disguise

And hold my gloves
