about

I wanted Luke Thering to write me some lyrics, so he provided me with current event related text. I wrote the tune fairly quickly and was happy with the product. I think I'll do this again.

lyrics

Winos took timid sips. The town looked like apocalypse. Dead birds slept on frozen lawns, but the parties still carried on.

5000 blackbirds fell, fell from the sky. Didn't even get to say goodbye. They fell rain- stung, stung the ground. What goes up must come down.

Parents kept their kids inside. Telephones rang as children cried. Dogs and cats ate from the streets, 5000 feather red-winged treats.

What a shame; for Arkansas blackbirds the New Year never came.
