Track #4 on Andrew Bird’s third full-length studio album The Mysterious Production of Eggs.
Rated as the 331st-best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork, this beautiful song covers the loss of innocence, the lamenting of it, and finally, the taking advantage of it.
Jay Ryan’s artwork for the song:
Much...
[Verse 1]
My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide
Jesus, don't you know that you could have died?
You should have died with the monsters that talk
Monsters that walk the earth
[Hook]
And she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee-high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you
[Verse 2]
Certain fads, stripes and plaids, some singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat
I mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel, hope it won't hurt too bad
My dewy eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
With the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth
[Verse 3]
And she says, "I like long walks and sci-fi movies
If you're six-foot tall and East coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head
I'm gonna drill a tiny hole into your head"
