lyrics

You haven't called me but you should
I read your sister's poems and they're good!
Good enough for the fires at dawn
Good enough for this song
They made me wonder, then choose
Between Achilles and the blues

You have dogma, I have views
While your sister is walking with the muse

I tried to see you at the duel
I saw the face you wore, it was cruel
It's a beast being thirty-nine
Growing vain on the vine
You made me wonder, then choose
Between Achilles and the blues

But I have poems I can use
That your sister wrote in Santa Cruz

about

Virgin of the Birds San Francisco, California

Named after a poor English translation of a Salvador Dali painting, Virgin of the Birds treads a line between intimate, lo fi folk and the occasional grandeur of early art rock.
