Lyrics
0:15Sister starling's on the move she's going down
0:22Watch the iridescence fading from her crown
0:28She looks up when she hits the ground
0:35Broken wing feathers all around
0:58Pick the starling up and bring the bird inside
1:05Fashion her a bed of needles and rawhide
1:11She sleeps with unblinking eyes I watch another morning dies
1:25Apples and oranges don't make lemonade
1:29But I press and I squeeze anyway
1:32When life gives you gin you make something
1:35I will do anything you say
1:39I will do anything you say
1:42Try to find her in the elements at night
1:49Took out my diving mask and underwater light
1:55I can go deep looking for a fight
2:02She stays out of mind out of sight
2:10Makeshift magazines now blowing in the wind
2:17I remembered all my dreams way back when
2:23I'd wake up reach for a pen
2:30Can't catch her now couldn't catch her then
2:38Apples and oranges don't make lemonade
2:42But you press and you squeeze anyway
2:45When life gives you gin you make something
2:48I will do anything you say
2:52And if you told me to jump
2:53I'd climb to the top of the CN tower today
2:59Watch me fly away
3:16Took half of my life to get here
3:18It'll take half to get back to the bed I was born in
3:22It's where I want to die
3:25Where do you want to die
3:30Made a lot of money
3:31Only to lose it while trying to fake it
3:36Makes me want to cry
3:39What makes you want to cry
3:55I will do anything you say
3:57I will do anything you say
4:01I will do anything you say
4:05Found a letter in an old festival tote
4:12Smoothed the paper out to read the crumpled note
4:17I'm sorry
4:27That's all she wrote
