Bird School

Lyrics

[Chorus] Yo, you could pull a rabbit out a hat, that's tricky I know where there's twelve thousand birds in a chimney Your kinda witchcraft take a lot of practice My kinda witchcraft show up in the Atmos [Verse 1] Yo, sent you a pin And a date in September, lemme pencil you in You could spend your whole summer hiding birds in your coat But come one fall eve, 6:30 on the nose On a grassy knoll, by a school of brick I'll be sipping something diet with a lime on the rim I'll be slicing up a kiwi, 'bout the size of my fist About to put you on the science of the migrating Swift You like, "I didn't come for sciencе, I had come for a trick" You had come for some magic, dummy, shut-up and sit Thеre's a couple thousand other people doing the same To see a miracle, smoke and mirrors ruins the frame [Chorus] I'm saying yo, you could link solid metal rings, that's tricky Ten birds circling a middle school dizzy Choosing a location to pause Along the route to Venezuela, well away from the frost Yes, yes, y'all, I'm fried y'all [Verse 2] Vaux's Swifts, loyal to the neighbors, for example This chimney been a favorite since the '80s By seven, it was several hundred birds The show is a slow burn, though it only take a moment to turn Here a thou', there another Synchronized swimmers doing aerials above us A prayer for the lovers, catch this Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta practice My kinda witchcraft ain't about distraction Yo, focus on the throwdown Sorcery so absurd even Merlin had his phone out 7:15 like a Sistine Chapel Wearing particle effects projected to seem natural Sunset, jaw-dropping avian performance The patterns are mathematics, the algorithm enormous And growing, headline, not to be foul Reads, "Earth mother posterizes wands into flowers" [Chorus] And yo, you could turn a wand into flowers, that's tricky Over 10K cyclone, above the city Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta angles My kinda witchcraft witness to the angels You could levitate a volunteer, that's tricky Twelve stacks hit the tornado in a tizzy An act the likes of which we've Never seen, even when there's nothing up the sleeve Yes, yes, y'all, I'm starving [Interlude] Yo Yo, yo, yo Hey, yo Yo, yo, yo Hey, hey, yo, yo, yo [Verse 3] Yo, the funneling of Swifts into brick Cylinders is seriously some mystical shit I mean... dare I say astonishing? Fuck it, I'ma say it, it's astonishing That's truth, stranger, that's a true banger Plus, they put the show on every day for a month Now I appreciate my card has found its way to the top of the whole deck But homie, you just can't make this shit up As for the homie I showed, I remember smoke from the ears I heard he had to move home, hasn't spoke in a year Well shit - that's not supposed to happen Then again, that's classic action-reaction [Chorus] Yo, you could pull a rabbit out a hat that's tricky Twelve thousand birds disappear into a chimney Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta practice My kinda witchcraft show up in the Atmos [Outro] Yo Yo Yo Yo
