The Hummingbird

[Verse 1]

The hummingbird feeds at the four o'clock flower

Got a gun in my hand so I kill every hour

Done with the dirt and all the days in the shower

Just to get the stink off of me

[Chorus]

It was furious, it was sweet

Scrubbed away 'til underneath

I could feel the white hot heat

White hot heat on a hot white sheet

Like a shock, I smelled the blood

Then I could not get enough

All the frenzy out of love

Would not suffer from the bottom, the landscapes came alive

[Verse 2]

The humming bird whirs as I feast on the pink

You can lead a horse to water, you can make him take a drink

You think that you all know me, but it ain't quite what you think

Here on Ballards Plantation

[Chorus]

But with a language outta reach

With her faith, I did beseech

'Til my soul was all a-bleach

Dry my eyes now as I stare into the sun

And the world begins to fade

With the choices we have made

So commence a new charade

Bright and shiny as a mirror, and the lanscapes came alive

[Verse 3]

The hummingbird feeds at the four o'clock flower

Got a gun in my hand so I kill every hour

Done with the dirt and all the days in the shower

Never get the stink off of me

[Chorus]

Yeah, we whisper of the grass

And the perfect way to pass

And it's love for everlast

Haul me over as I glide into the light

'Cause this final life of thrift

See my mood begin to lift

With a momentary shift

No surprises on the radio, and the landscapes came alive
