From the album 'Head Like A Nest (Deluxe)' by Sparkbird Lyrics: There's a person With a set of porcelain teeth And a pair of emerald eyes One time I bethought to plod Beneath the warm gold glittering façade Where in lieu of fleuves of ruby blood I found a fougou, got caught in a clotted cream flood Well, if I were a person (And I hope I never am one) I would try to be less of a person, more of a person If I were a person (And I hope I never am one) I would try to be less of a person, more of a person, less of a pers- On a whim Down a gravel driveway From a winding well-off road A person gave a push and watched me whoosh! Into the midst of Risks I was averse to Out on a limb Coerced toward a court of obelisks The burden of pressure bruised my skin more deeply Than the physical impact did [Instrumental] Nobody else bore witness to it Somebody bore it to the witnessing Everybody bored of bearing with me But could anybody bear to intervene? No! Inhabiting a captive body Inhabiting a faceless bag of bones My sizzling pancake-battered head Still keeps score for imaginary battles below There's a person-shaped jam-filled pastry Stand-in for someone I've known Ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh Only a pretzel stick stake Punched through the piped-in raspberry heart Can break the thick thrall of that glaze Spare me more of these saccharine matinees Oooooh Ba ba da da da da There's a person With a jasper disposition And a yellow diamond mind Faced by fire, I tried and trod In the mine with that canary crystal clod 'Til the tawdry lace facets failed And I confronted the fraud that the flames unveiled Well, if I were a person (And I hope I never am one) I would try to be less of a person, more of a person If I were a person (And I hope I never am one) I would try to be less of a person, more of a person Less of a person, more of a person Less of a person, more of a person Less of a person, more of a person Less of a person Credits: Music and lyrics - Stephan Nance Piano, lead vocals, backing vocals - Stephan Nance Banjo, bass guitar, cello, guitars, keys, mandolin, percussion - Josh Frigo Drums - Jon Truman Vocal engineer - Annie Elise Producer - Josh Frigo Mixing engineer - Josh Frigo Mastering engineer - Alex Dobbert Artwork - Rebecca DeMoss Animation - Miuranga D. #sparkbird #aperson #newmusic #bardcore #whimsical #darkcabaret #folkpop
