Pigeons

You were in a black dress Bowie in the kitchen Pigeons on your balcony Beautiful and barefoot Said you never show your bruises I was hoping that you might show me I'd been living in a lifeboat Dizzy on the ocean I couldn't tell you when I last saw land I washed up on your doorstep A servant at the temple A Hail Mary from a drowning man And it felt romantic to learn a new language Desperate & damaged and aching to be Yeah you came on like the queen of chaos Like some unsolvable mystery Your daddy made a living Selling Jesus & the manger Salvation in the land of sin And every time that you got me In a vulnerable position Well you told me that I looked like him And it felt electric to have your attention Full surrender to your gravity Yeah, you came on like the queen of chaos A child who only could ever play make-believe And you're never gonna let Anybody stand beside you You just sell 'em what they wanna hear Cause you're good at telling stories And talking revolution And using people 'til they disappear A goddess when you get what you wanted And when you don't my love, you're mean Yeah, you came on like the queen of chaos But I never met anybody less free Anybody less free
