Alex Brittan - Thirsty Bird Lyrics

Alex Brittan – Thirsty Bird Lyrics

Sweat crystals on your lips

Like golden syrup glistening

Sugar dusted pink twist

Where thirsty birds go to drink


And now the heat is heavy on my back

Vultures looking for a sunburnt snack

But I’ve still got your flavour on my tongue

Oh, I lick my lips and carry on



Cling-film summer shirt

Where scapula and shoulders burst

Like presents wrapped around their shape

So you can look, but you can’t take


Now I am singing out my sweetest tune

While all my jungle friends howl to the moon

But I’ve still got your flavour on my tongue

Oh, I lick my lips and carry on

It’s murder in the jungle sun

Those thirsty birds die one by one

It’s a war zone on the riverside

Those thirsty birds have drunk it dry

The sea breeze is on your lips

Can I cool off inside your kiss?

[Lyrics to Thirsty Bird by Alex Brittan]
