Lyrics

[00:14.55] Feathers and furs nightbirds
[00:20.50] Only come out after dark
[00:27.01] Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
[00:33.38] Crying like no meadowlark
[00:56.88] Velvet and pearls mausoleum girls
[01:03.25] Leathery jacketed boys
[01:09.96] Out on a limb at the end of the bar
[01:16.31] Shunned from the island of joy
[01:22.94] Waiting for the silver moon to come
[01:25.69] And set ya free
[01:29.50] Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
[01:34.19] Like a jailbird's dream, dream
[01:49.19]
[01:56.03] Powder and gloves night doves
[02:02.28] Only come out after hours
[02:08.95] Think with perfume by the light of the tomb
[02:15.16] Fresh as a funeral flower
[02:21.88] Waiting for the silver moon to come and set ya free
[02:28.58] Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
[02:33.32] Like a jailbird's dream
[02:34.96]
[02:38.36] Feathers and furs nightbirds
[02:45.10] Only come out after dark
[02:51.60] Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
[02:57.98] Crying like no meadowlark
