Ryan Adams: Night Birds

Out under the stars, dodging them night cars, baby
Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
Whatever that it was you were thinking of, lady
You're certainly not thinking of it now

And nightbirds sing you
An empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
In an empty moment
All the nightbirds sing
We were supposed to rise above
But we sink
into the ocean

I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
From a million years of lying and getting drunk
The people here inside me
They are loud and in the night
they scream and smash the windows
And they fight

And nightbirds sing you
An empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
With an empty feeling
When it comes too soon
We were supposed to rise above
but we sink
Into the ocean

Into the ocean
