Port Of Morrow - The Shins

[00:00.0]Port Of Morrow - The Shins
[00:40.71]Through the rain and all the clatter
[00:44.39]Under the Fremont bridge I saw a pigeon fly
[00:48.44]Fly in fear from the raptor come to take its life
[00:56.51]And as it closed in for the capture
[01:00.79]I funneled the fear through my ancient eyes
[01:04.36]To see in flight
[01:06.23]What I know are the bitter mechanics of life
[01:12.770004]Under my hat it reads "the lines are all imagined"
[01:20.71]A fact of life I know to hide from my little girls
[01:28.63]I know my place amongst the bugs and all the animals
[01:36.46]And it's from these ordinary people you are longing to be free
[01:48.09]My hotel and on the TV
[01:52.41]A preacher on a stage like a buzzard cries
[01:56.15]Out a warning of phony sorrow he's trying to get a rise
[02:03.7]The cyanide of an almond
[02:07.77]Let him look at your hands get the angles right
[02:11.66]Ace of spades port of morrow life is death is life
[02:20.19]I saw a photograph: Cologne in '27
[02:28.12]And then a postcard after the bombs in '45
[02:35.85]Must've been a world of evil clowns that let it happen
[02:44.33]But now I recognize dear listeners
[02:48.22]That you were there and so was I
[02:53.06]Ah ah ah ah ah
[03:29.64]Under my hat I know the lines are all imagined
[03:37.4]A fact of life I must impress on my little girls
[03:45.49]I know my place amongst the creatures in the pageant
[03:53.75]And there are flowers in the garbage
[03:57.93]And a skull under your curls
[04:05.23]Ah ah ah ah ah
