Passenger Pigeons Lyrics

Ever since you moved out
I've been living in the park
I'd rather talk to the wind
Than an empty apartment
And I wish I could forget
How a billion birds flew in
To my hollow dying heart
The first time I touched your arm
Once there were a billion passenger pigeons
So many flew by they darkened the sky
But they were clubbed and shot
Netted gassed and burned
Until there was nothing left
But piles of empty nests
I can't believe how easily
A billion birds can disappear
The park is empty now
It's so cold out
And all the paddle boats
Are covered up with snow
But I'm still sitting here
Drinking frozen beer
And throwing potato chips
On to the white snow drifts
Just in case a bird decides
To fly through here tonight
I can't believe how easily
A billion birds can disappear
No I can't believe how easily
A billion birds can disappear
