Cursive - Drunken Birds Lyrics
Mimicry's the most ulcerous form of mockery
It rewards me handsomely
Don't kill the mockingbird
Two teaspoons of the old elixir!
Magpie looks in the mirror
The external world seems to disappear
What, exactly, do you see in there?
Four teaspoons of the old elixir!
Drunken birds falling off the balcony
You got to flap them wings
Learning how to teach your parrot to speak...
A couple more drinks, hear the jailbird sing
Repeat after me: I need to delete all history
Some things are best left repressed
Albatross necktie looks so dignified
But you got to loosen it up
Eight teaspoons of the old elixir!
Drunken birds weaving through sycamores...
How to teach your parrot to speak...
A couple more drinks, hear the jailbird sing
How a lifetime cooped up has left him cagey
Cagey!
I need to delete all history
Sixteen spoons of the old elixir
Thirty-two spoons of the old elixir
Sixty-four spoons of the old elixir
Night, night!
Night, night!

Cursive Drunken Birds Comments
Cursive doesn't get enough media coverage in my own opinion.
I don't understand people who enjoy Cursive but don't enjoy their music videos. Each video mirrors Kashers lyrical content in that they all dive deeper than their surface appearances. I absolutely adore Cursive and Tim Kasher for the clever nuances he never seems to miss and Cursives videos aren't any different.
Agreed. They've never even remotely touched upon the drama and emotion of their music. Not a shame, so much a missed opportunity.
Actually, someone suggested it was Craig, their merch guy - now I kinda see it, and it makes more sense because Patrick would be on keyboard. /shrug
I think it might me Patrick? Their trumpet/keyboard guy? But then I saw someone on keyboard so I wasn't sure.. but the guy on keyboard doesn't really look like Patrick so I'm inclined to think the drummer is him lol. But then who's on keyboard? XD
Yeah, who the hell is that? It looks like Clint with a beard for a sec.
Cursive has been my favorite band for over a decade, but damn, they can never seem to make a good video. Big Bang was the closest they came.
Cursive is the best.
we love cursive.
Epic as always... Gotta love my Kasher Xoxo :)
oh kasher... you're not as good as you once did.
glad you followed the theme of the song more in the video this time. It only makes sense when you make the album a story.
OH CURSIVE IS SO COOOL!
Nice video! I love the cinematography. Didn't see Cully in there, though!
Brazil wants Cursive
I really like the video and the song!
Looking forward to see them in Belgium!
This is fantastic! Tim Kasher, you are a fucking poet.
