Hummingbird
LYRICS
VERSE
Miss your alarm in the morning
and your toothbrush's sound,
as I roll over to hold you the
pillow's all I found.

Still making two cups of coffee
when I just need one.
Why'd I put on your jacket instead of my own the
sleeves were so long?

CHORUS
Birds cuckoo as the sun begins to rise,
left without a warning had no chance to say, "Goodbye".
Pull me close and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
Won't you stay with me forever, sing our lullaby, my dear?

Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, won't you?
Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, won't you?
Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, take me
back to the days fore you went away and we were carefree and so young.

VERSE
Found your shirt in my closet, 
still smelt of you.
I went weak at the knees so I reached for the sleeve,
broke down amongst the shoes.

Stirring my coffee in circles, tinkling the spoon.
Tears stream from my eyes as I now realize
I set a place for you.

CHORUS
Birds cuckoo as the sun begins to rise,
left without a warning had no chance to say, "Goodbye".
Pull me close and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
Won't you stay with me forever, sing our lullaby, my dear?

Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, won't you?
Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, won't you?
Hum, my hummingbird. Sing along, take me
back to the days fore you went away and we were carefree and so young.

BRIDGE
And time goes slow, now you're gone and it's winter
I've got no one else to hold.
Fair skin, cold lips, how can I forget this?
Never knew that this would be our last kiss.

OUTRO
Birds cuckoo as the sun begins to rise,
my dear I miss you so but I'll be with you in some time.


Hummingbird

Chilled and a little trippy... 
LYRICS
VERSE
Curiosity leads to trouble, so you better take care.
Don't lose yourself down this rabbit hole, cannot be prepared.
Craving the abstract, I'll push you through my looking glass.
I'm your friend the hallucinogen, like watching you struggle back.

PRECHORUS
Look like Alice but I'm a mad hatter,
I say taste me yes is the answer.
other pills aren't working any more
Let me trip you through the ever-falling floor. 

CHORUS
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
put on my white gloves.

VERSE
12 hour fantasy, distract you from reality
we both know you're lonely, even when I'm in your company
Hear that smell of destruction, go on give in to my seduction

PRECHORUS
Look like Alice but I'm a mad hatter,
I say drink me yes is the answer.
thrills aren't working any more
Let me trip you through the ever-falling floor. 

CHORUS
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
put on my white gloves.

BRIDGE
Cheshire moon in my noose, I hung it there
I can help you join it, grinning sweetly in mid air

PRECHORUS
Look like Alice but I'm a mad hatter,
I say drink me yes is the answer.
thrills aren't working any more
Let me trip you through the ever-falling floor. 
CHORUS
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
put on my white gloves.

When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
When I'm done messing you up
I'll go home and put on my white gloves.
put on my white gloves.




White Gloves

A bit different, and a little darker...
LYRICS
Verse
You're like the heroin that courses through my veins,
So intoxicating turns my air into cocaine.
You said I should resist addiction to your love.
I don't need no intervention, please don't take away this drug.

Chorus 
And I crave your control,
Won't you give me some direction 
As you rock me to and fro?
And why are you so cold?
If I am your willing hostage
Forget the ransom, just don't let go.

Cause you run the show.
You run the show.

Verse
I'll let you slice me up and stitch the parts together;
If it's easier to love me, let the scars remain forever.
My heart's exposed enough for an open operation.
I'm no surgeon, but our love's full of complications.

Chorus 
And I crave your control,
Won't you give me some direction 
As you rock me to and fro?
And why are you so cold?
If I am your willing hostage
Forget the ransom, just don't let go

Cause you run the show.
You run the show.

Bridge
Can't see, can't breathe,
I'm gasping for the air.
Won't you come and rescue me?
No words, I choke
Cause if I'm your poison
Then you're my antidote.

Chorus
And I crave your control,
Won't you give me some direction 
As you rock me to and fro?
And why are you so cold?
If I am your willing hostage
Forget the ransom, just don't let go.

Cause you run the show.
Oh I think, oh I think, oh I think you should know
that darling you run the show.

My heart's exposed enough for an open operation.
I'm no surgeon but our love's full of complications.
