lyrics
Have you ever seen a bloody egg?
Glass in hand, lying up in bed?
That's the time to sing this cowardly lullaby
And you ought to know why
Lullabye to nightmares whisper low
In the night where bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Wouldn't you like to try?
Ba ba-ba ba-ba
Ba ba-ba ba-ba
Ba ba-ba ba-ba
Have you ever heard the blackbird's song?
Summer days all summer long
Underneath the shady tree
A shadow sitting next to me
And we stare at the sun
Lullabye to nightmares whisper low
In the night where bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Wouldn't you like to try?

This is the greatest album of all time. Every track is so perfectly placed together, are so brilliantly written and it all hits so hard and feels amazing on my ears. The album art looks so fun and creative, and Eyewishes is the best lemon demon song ever. 12/10 album. Fennec
