Lyrics

[00:02.00] Andrew Bird - Effigy
[00:07.00]
[01:12.56] If you come to find me affable
[01:18.69] And build a replica for me
[01:24.53] Would the idea to you be laughable
[01:30.59] Of a pale facsimile
[01:34.38]
[01:36.03] So will you come to burn an effigy
[01:41.69] It should keep the flies away
[01:47.72] And when you long to burn this effigy
[01:51.64] It should be of the hours that slip away
[01:57.28] Slip away
[02:00.71]
[02:08.13] It could be you
[02:10.97] It could be me
[02:12.75] Working the door
[02:14.51] Drinking for free
[02:16.28] Carrying on with your conspiracies
[02:20.24] Filling the room with a sense of unease
[02:24.10] Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
[02:30.58] Like the words of a man
[02:33.04] who's spent a little too much time alone
[02:38.04] When one has spent too much time alone
[02:42.67]
[03:06.63] So will you come to burn my effigy
[03:12.51] It should keep the flies away
[03:18.60] If you long to burn an effigy
[03:22.65] It should be of a man whose lost his way
[03:28.50] Slips away
[03:30.63]
[03:38.59] It could be you
[03:41.47] It could be me
[03:43.45] Working the door
[03:45.45] Drinking for free
[03:47.45] Carrying on with your conspiracies
[03:51.07] Filling the room with a sense of unease
[03:55.05] Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
[04:02.24] Like the words of a man
[04:04.31] who's spent a little too much time alone
[04:08.57] When one has spent too much time alone
[04:14.27]
