Sister starling’s on the move, she’s going down Watch the iridescence fading from her crown She looks up when she hits the ground Broken wing, feathers all around Pick the starling up and bring the bird inside Fashion her a bed of needles and rawhide She sleeps with unblinking eyes I watch - another morning dies Apples and oranges don’t make lemonade But i press and i squeeze anyway When life gives you gin, you make something I'll do anything you say I'll do anything you say Try to find her in the elements at night Took out my diving mask and underwater light I can go deep looking for a fight She stays out of mind, out of sight Makeshift magazines are blowing in the wind I remembered all my dreams way back when I’d wake up, reach for a pen Can’t catch her now couldn’t catch her then Apples and oranges don’t make lemonade SongtexteBut you press and you squeeze anyway When life gives you gin, you make something I will do anything you say And if you told me to jump I’d climb to the top of the CN Tower today Watch me fly away Took half my life to get here It’ll take half to get back to the bed I was born in It’s where I want to die (it's where I want to die) Where do you want to die? (Where do you want to die?) Made a lot of money Only to lose it trying to fake it Makes me want to cry (makes me want to cry) What makes you want to cry? (What makes you want to cry?) I will do anything you say I'll do anything you say Found a letter in an old festival tote Smoothed the paper out to read your crumpled note I’m sorry That’s all she wrote Aus Songtexte Mania
