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
