Andrew Bird Fake Palindromes Lyrics

this is definitely my favorite song on the whole album
I play it-
Intro (Violin):
C Riff
Repeat: 8x
Am Riff
Repeat: 4x
G Riff
Repeat: 3x
Transition Riff
straight into verse
Verse:
my dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
monsters?
whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
jesus don't you know that you could've died, you should've died
with the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth
Chorus:
and she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
and she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
she's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use
she's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
she's got blood.. in her eyes for you
(then part of the g riff comes in a bit before the actual riff)
B String
G Riff x3
Transition Riff
Verse:
certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
they run you hot and cold like a rheostat, i mean a thermostat
so you bite on a towel, hope it won't hurt too bad
my dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
what monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth
Chorus:
and she says i like long walks and sci-fi movies
if you're six foot tall and east coast bred
some lonely night we can get together
and i'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
and drill a tiny hole into your head
I'm gonna drill a tiny hole.. into your
C Riff x3
end on C
alright.. enjoy
