No Bad News

Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore 
  Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor 
  Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door 
  Someone lovely and she's bringing bad news 

  She clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs 
  Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs 
  And showing such fear at being found unawares 
  To be here and be bringing bad news 

  Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go 
  Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 
  Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 
  And she had to bring here this 

  Well, she's told, "Hold your buttons and look at the sky 
  Someone will fix things if you let your face dry 
  Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high 
  And you may transcend the bad news" 

  Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go 
  Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 
  Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 
  And she had to bring here this 

  For all hammers and nails 
  For all leaves and winds 
  For all love ambitions 
  And enemies and friends 

  She shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go 
  She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow 
  And her voice it decays and before it does she goes, 
  "I will never again deliver bad news" 

  Something bad happens and a lot of people go 
  Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 
  Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 
  And she had to bring here this 

  Mm, hey little bird ?  hey little bird 
  Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you 
  Hey little bird ?  hey little bird 
  Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you 
  (Hey little bird ? hey little bird) 
  Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)
