No Bird Sing - Basquiat Loves Company lyrics

[Verse 1] Paint that hack with a red knapsack Dig a little dirt turn a red hand black Don't slap that ‘ sip that honey Drink that milk ‘ get that money Making bad news for a baboon in a track suit with a tattoo of the statue of liberty Listen to me, where'd you get that ring from boy? Off what frozen hand? Just one word loose and the whole thing falls to the ground like a noose Same o' truce ‘ Brand new break You could see it in the way that he walked He was not designed to be a plastic man Sitting on the couch having plastic thoughts Not designed to be a plastic man Sitting on the couch having plastic thoughts [Hook] x2 Whatever that apothecary put into my jar It made me wanna forget that my body is made of stars (My body is made of stars) There's fires in all the graves (Those fires will never die) We keep k**ing all the flames [Chorus] For dear Pearl ‘ Five years old Six if you count that nine in the belly Mona Lisa never looked to so good as when she showed those(her) teeth To that first lit match ‘ flicked by dawn There's fires in the graves cuz they can't stop k**ing ‘em young [Verse 2] Flesh and the blood Wear that guilt ‘til it fits like a glove Gift and a hug ‘ All wrung out Tongue in the rafters ‘ hung from the mouth Play that clarinet ‘ but don't forget What you're getting ‘ in return Slow to dry ‘ quick to burn King fish pout with a hook in the eye Born in the dark ‘ trying to look at the sky To remember ‘ where he comes from Ask him why ‘ go 'head ask him why Ask him why ‘ go on ask him She never looked so good as when she's close to home Token grief ‘ helicopter blades and broken arrow tips on sugar cane Trunks of ice ‘ there's your slogan pusherman Left behind those pipered mice to crack the whip and still such chaos Native sons ‘ handed live grenades at their conception Just so there's no doubt ‘ they'll be born to be a weapon [Chorus] x2
