Indigo Black

[Verse]

Idle and aimless

In the house down by the bay

I used to feed the seagulls

And watch them fly away

It was so lovely, lovely, lovely

Lovely as can be


[Verse]

But the tide’s encroaching and the sun’s about to shift

There’s only so many times you can watch the plywood drift

And so I wandered, wandered, wondered

What else I could see


[Pre-Chorus]

But you city mouse

You threw me for a spin

And now my tail feathers

Are the color, the color of sin

Oh the color of...


[Interlude]


[Verse]

Let’s go to the rooftop

Wherе we can feel the wind

I could stay herе forever

As it’s seeping through my skin

And in the heat of the breezy moment we

Almost believe what we said


[Verse]

But the goddamn plumber

Forgot to seal the cracks

Before this house caves in

Can I take these feelings back

Oh, no one to blame


[Pre-Chorus]

But you city lights

You threw me for a spin

And now my tail feathers

Are the color, the color of sin

I’ve seen too much and

I can’t go back and

Now my tail feathers

Are the darkest, the dirtiest shade

The darkest, the dirtiest shade


[Chorus]

Of indigo bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh you city mouse

You threw me for a spin

And now my tail feathers

Are the color, the color of sin

I’ve seen too much and

I can’t go back and

Now my tail feathers

Are the darkest, the dirtiest shade

The darkest, the dirtiest shade


[Chorus]

Of indigo bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack

Bla-a-a-ack
