The ostrich and the egret
Had a very fine flat to live
Figurine hutch, no the place wasn't much
But they got a peacock
His belongings were meager but
He was pretty would bring good luck
They would sing songs around the piano
And do the cakewalk
He would say what he's gonna do
He would say what he wanted to
Ostrich and egret were filled with regret
But the rent's well worth him
He felt things that they'd never felt
Like the slap of a feather belt
So, still they sit by the fireplace silent
A chill ran through them
Ostrich and egret and peacock
Had very small dreams
Thinking of them just reminds me of calendar scenes
Nobody's laughing when everyone's weeping, it seems
So, that's how we quit the forest
The scene wasn't what it used to be
The scene is never what it used to be
So, that's how we quit the forest
The scene wasn't what it used to be
The scene is never what it used to be
So, that's how we quit the forest
