[00:00.00] Matchstick Man - Paper Bird
[00:10.91] Written by:Anna Kohlweis
[00:21.82] There are sheep in the sky
[00:23.53] I see them passing the moon
[00:26.73] Like a razorblade to an eyeball
[00:29.12] On the movie screen
[00:30.39] And their legs reach down past
[00:33.59] Houses and cars
[00:35.27] Cutting soft soil
[00:37.68] Piercing their past
[00:40.14] And the fires are still burning
[00:42.60] But the concrete never cracks
[00:44.47] I've got a house on the glacier
[00:47.49] I'm up to every trick
[00:49.22] And every night I hear the limestone rocks rolling
[00:52.82] Past my horse's hoofs
[00:54.98] I've got a hunger a hunger
[00:58.73] For the bomb proof
[01:20.78] Fold me into something else
[01:22.83] Press my edges
[01:23.63] Down with nails
[01:25.01] I am outstretched
[01:26.79] Widespread on the plains
[01:30.01] And my hut is made of hay
[01:32.56] Hold together by toothpicks
[01:34.65] I am waiting every night
[01:36.22] For the man with the matchstick
[01:39.25] And everyone gets a pair of wings
[01:41.45] To cross the big lake
[01:43.19] Truth is it's just as impossible
[01:45.77] As riding on snowflakes
[01:48.50] But thanks for the possibility
[01:50.74] Of flying out of this life
[01:52.38] But I prefer
[01:53.64] The hay and the matchstick man
[01:56.47] Because they shine so bright
[01:59.81] And I dig caves in every mountain
[02:02.67] In search of your soul
[02:04.51] And then when I've found you
[02:06.73] My fingers all stiff and cold
[02:09.23] I'm gonna kiss you on the forehead
[02:12.20] And do all I can
[02:13.98] To bury you deeper this time
[02:15.65] To look for you all over again
[02:18.65] And I dig caves in every mountain
[02:21.46] In search of your soul
[02:23.33] And then when I've found you
[02:25.58] My fingers are all stiff and cold
[02:27.95] I'm gonna kiss you on the forehead
[02:30.84] And do all I can
[02:32.52] To bury you deeper this time
[02:34.32] To look for you all over again
[02:37.31] And I dig caves in every mountain
[02:40.20] In search of your soul
[02:42.08] And then when I've found you
[02:44.26] My fingers all stiff and cold
[02:47.11] I'm gonna kiss you on the forehead
[02:49.57] And do all I can
[02:51.37] To bury you deeper this time
[02:53.11] To look for you all over again
[02:56.13] All over again
[03:01.04] All over again
[03:05.84] All over again
[03:09.67] All over again
