Bird House

Corpse
Written and performed by Allison Badgley

She takes a deep breath
Of heavenly hope
She smells his lingering smoke and the rot of the dead.
Like a decomposing corpse lying with her in bed

All she wants now is freedom
Punch drunk from the fight.
Why’d she ever meet him?
She scared now for her life.
Oh yeah.

And she still cries
For the baby that died
For the promises broken
For the words that were spoken.
And her green eyes burn at the thought of all of his lies.

All she wants now is peacetime
Punch drunk from the fight
But his dark memory lingers
With a grip that’s too tight
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.

Please tell this zombie to die.
So she can rest her eyes.
Please let this corpse leave her side.
So she can go on with her life.

All she wants now is freedom
To let go of the fight
But the dark man, he haunts her
Gripping her nights
Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.

Boy
Don’t ya know you’re a star?
And Boy
Don’t ya go very far.
Cause Boy, I might be falling in love.

They said 
That it wouldn’t be cool.
Instead
We went and broke all the rules.
And boy
I don’t have a single regret.

So La La La La La La La La La La La Love me, do.
And I’ll La La La La La La La La La La La La love you, too.
I swear.
It’s true.
It’s you.
Eyes blue.

Boy
Every day that goes by
With you
Far away from my eyes
I’m blue
And my heart feels weak and deprived.

Instead
We write the letters in pen.
Instead
We have to wait to begin.
And boy
I’m so good and ready to go.

So La La La La La La La La La La La La love me, man.
And I’ll La La La La La La La La La love you the best I can.
I swear.
To you.
Those eyes.
Of blue.

So La La La La La La La La La La La La love me, man.
And I’ll La La La La La La La La La love you the best I can.
I swear.
To you.
Those eyes.
Of blue.
Of blue.


Blue

Like a baby on the front porch
In a basket in the 50’s
Like a body in a brush pile
Decomposing with the leaves

That’s where he left her.
That’s where he left her.

If he only knew her heart.
If he only knew her heart.

Am I crazy just to ask ya
To take a look inside my soul, yeah?
Is it just too much to ask ya
To not devour me whole, yeah?

If you only knew my heart.
If you only knew my heart.

Take a woman, deconstruct her.
Like a project in your driveway
Only bones and tits and soft skin
You wanna give it to her sideways
Investigate her.
Penetrate her.
Then just forget her.
Then throw away her.

You pretend to understand.
But you’re just the garbage man.
You’re the one with dirty hands.
Oh you’re just the garbage man.


Garbage Man

Written and performed by Allison Badgley

My eternal love you’ve come and gone
And the other boys won’t like this song
And they won’t stay
And that’s okay

You broke me down but always know
My love for you will never go
And I can’t say
That I’d turn away
If you came back someday.

I drank the sweetest poison
Without ration without reason.
A dark and stormy season in this life of mine

And I sank deep without fighting
And all the while igniting
A flame of pain inside me that just never died.
But I died inside

I drank the sweetest poison
Without ration without reason
A stark and scary feeling in this head of mine

And I drank with no denial
Of a self inflicted trial
A fight to death and just as bitter as the taste
But I sure miss your face

My eternal love you done me wrong
And you might never hear this song
But then someday 
It just might pass your way

Cause you took me to my lowest low
And its true my love will never go
And it’s sad to say
It will remain that way
Until my dying day.

I drank the sweetest poison…
I drank the sweetest poison…
Thanks for the game you played.
Thanks for the games you played.


Poison

Written and performed by Allison Badgley

Through tears she said I’m sorry baby that I fell apart.
He said he was sorry for not caring for her heart.
It was their last day together on Earth.
It was the last day she’d cry on his shirt.
It felt like burying your best friend alive.

They loved each other hard they did not love each other well.
It was a match made in heaven and a match made in hell.
It put her in the ground.
So It was all for the best.
That he couldn’t stay around.

It was a big love 
And it was all a big mess
And he had no choice.
This wasn’t happiness.

They were a cocktail of chemicals that burned violently bright
It was love, it was lust, it was hate
It was never all right.
It was a match made in heaven 
It was a match made in hell
But they wanted each other
So he had to say farewell.

He left for California on that Thursday night
She went east, he went west for the best 
But it never felt right.
And other lovers would never feel the same way.
In California when he just couldn’t stay


Last Day

Pardon the roughs. Slowly working on them.
