Andrew Bird - Mx Missiles lyrics

Those that will judge

Will say you're aloof

But you know the truth is a seed

You know what you need

Is a conflagration

Cause when I see your blood

And the bits of your broken tooth

It gives me proof that I need

It's the proof that you bleed

And its a revelation

It's a revelation

I thought you were a life-sized paper doll

Propped up in the hardware store

Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade

Of those legionnaires with 2/4s

Marching off to wars

I didnt know what you were made of

Color of blood what you're afraid of

Are you made of calium or are you cardon based

Cause if your made of calium I'll have to take a taste

Calium id deadly, but tender to the tooth

But its one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof

Or if you're just aloof

And you were in the ground in late November

Though the leaves and earth were damp

Did you think they would remeber

How you almost made state champ

And when you're running for the game against Alfonsus

And you fell upon the ground and chipped your tooth

That might really have surprised us

To learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof

I thought you were a life-sized paper doll

Propped up in the hardware store

Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade

Of those legionnaires with 2/4s

Marching off to wars

Yeah, their marching off to wars

Their marching
