Lirik Terjemahan
Magpies on fire
Making love like little wolves out on the porch
Can lead to medicine
Oh well, I'm game for anything at all
Scarecrow's a liar
Spins a yarn and no one ever checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon and now it's time to fall
All along it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
All and all it's just the call
Of something wild beyond your room
There's a changing of the major chord
Your minor threat will do, love
My gun misfired
Shot myself instead
I guess I always knew
I'd be the one to lose
That screen door slams
Time to make a move
Help me
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
All and all it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love
A bird who's born to live at half your age, girl
A bird who's never really had a say
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
Least of all she's like a bird
Who's now been freed from someone's cage
