Sleeping in the Aviary — Girl in the Ground lyrics

Lyrics

Rock and fuckin' roll
Rock and fuckin' roll
Ah, shit
Yeah!
Alright
Go!
Alright uh, hey!
Holding you backwards and shooting off laughter
Running around with my girl in the ground
Watching my head grow, awake in the Dayglo
I never stopped thinking of leaving this town
The feelings still linger, the birds on my fingers
Looking after me
She always got hurt, I’m still wearing her shirt
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
Wearing my sickness, there’s nothing wrong with this
Place but I’m thinkin' of funeral cars
It’s good to be back here, it’s better than last year
My mother stopped cryin', my sister’s not far
The feelings still linger, the birds on my fingers
Looking after me
She always got hurt, I’m still wearing her shirt
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
Leaving each other in new sheets and covers
Hung through the window little dressing my eyes
Packing my head straight instead of a suitcase
Mother’s all sleeping my money away
The feelings still linger, the birds on my fingers
Looking after me
She always got hurt, I’m still wearing her shirt
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
My aging moves faster cause I couldn’t have her
Songs are all singing the name that I found
I know I loved her first and everything gets worse
As soon as I’m sleeping on the side of the bed
The feelings still linger, the birds on my fingers
Looking after me
She always got hurt, I’m still wearing her shirt
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
I know I’m not lazy, these parts are goin', maybe
The drugs that I’m takin' are keepin' me down
Watching my home fade, I’m doing a new shape
And now you saw my father’s money and time
The feelings still linger, the birds on my fingers
Looking after me
She always got hurt, I’m still wearing her shirt
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
Running around with my girl in the ground
