Magpie comes a calling    Drops a marble from the sky   Tin roof sounds alarm    And wake up child    Let this be a warning says the magpie to the morning   Don't let this fading summer pass you by   Don't let this fading summer pass you by       Black hands held so high   The vulture wheels and dives    Something on the thermals    Yanked his chain    Smelled your boring apex   Rotting on the train tracks    He laughed under his breath    Because you thought that you could outrun sorrow   Take your own advice    Thunder and lightening gets you rain    Run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition    To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain    A diamond at the bottom of the drain      Hear the mocking bird sing   In the middle of the night   All of his songs are stolen so he hides   Stole them out from whiporwills   Screaming car alarms   He sings them for you special   He knows you're afraid of the dark    Come on sorrow    Take your own advice    Hide under the bed   Turn out the light    Stars this night in the sky are ringing out    You can almost hear them saying    "Close your eyes now kid"    "Close your eyes now kid"       Morning is too far lit    They are waiting    Waiting    They are waiting
