Pigeon Lyrics
Maps & Atlases
Lyrics
And you were the proudest thing i'd ever seen (2x)
and i knew that i couldn't say a thing (2x)
? struck out the fear that grow black marks
When a pigeon comes to meet you
sometimes it's hard to tell
ah exactly what it means
when the sounds they make swell
And who's side are you on? (2x)
there's no one here like me
(2x)
And you were the proudest thing i'd ever seen (2x)
and i knew that i couldn't say a thing (2x)
? struck out the fear that grow black marks
When a pigeon comes to meet you
sometimes it's hard to tell
ah exactly what it means
when the sounds they make swell
And who's side are you on? (2x)
there's no one here like me
(2x)
