lyrics

You’re a yella bird, in a yellow light
In the golden hour you burn wild and bright
But in the dawn I watched you wain
I felt your hot love turn to cold blue pain

Then you were gone
Yea you were gone
As soon as I said your name
You were gone
You were gone
Fast like hummingbird’s wings

Now tell me how you walked away
When you left your bones in my bedframe
Or maybe I left mine with you
It’s hard telling whose is whose

I hope you can balance, balance, balance
But if you panic, panic, panic
You can regenerate
I hope you can balance, balance, balance
But if you panic, panic, panic
You can regenerate (stop)….Into a

Yella bird in the yellow light
In the golden hour you burn wild and bright
You’re a yella bird in the yellow light
In the golden hour you burn wild and bright
You’re a yella bird in the yellow light
In the golden hour you burn wild and bright
