Here come the darkest birds   To burst the bubble   End of a perfect day   Head full of trouble      Here come the darkest birds   All tar and feathers   Why did none of them dream of trying   To make things better?      Those are the mimicking kind   They are, they are   I number myself among them   The furthest star      And this is the road I walked on   When I shot you down   All words of forgiveness useless   They won't help me now   And I should've been there for you   When you called my name   I promise to tread more lightly   Though what's gone is gone   It's such a shame      Here come the darkest birds   They've got their reasons   All their pretty colours are gone   Washed out of season      Those are the soaring kind   They are, they are   I number yourself among them   The brightest star      And this is the road I walked on   When I shot you down   All words of forgiveness useless   They won't serve me now   And I should've been there for you   When you called my name   I promise to tread more lightly   Though what's done is done   It's such a shame      The Banality Of Evil   I've got me a badge   A bright shiny badge   I'm painting the crest in yellow and blue      I've got me a club   An exclusive club   It doesn't include a place for you      Hey…..hello neighbour   Hey…..hello neighbour, right you are      It's in the way that you walk   All of the changes, all the mistakes   In the demands you constantly make      It's in the way that you grieve   All of the loss   You don't know when you're better off   Or at what cost
