Andrew Bird does Tin Foil even better than the Handsome Family:
Late New Years Eve paper hat on your head
It was hard to believe that you’d ever be dead
And that dream that you’re falling you’ve had since you’re five
Is a bird on your shoulder that whispers goodbyeWhat is moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What has been built up will collapse
All of your dreams
are fulfilledEvil Knievel shot up from dead grass
And I loved him better each time that he crashed
And Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed
She was certain that Skylab would fall on her headWhat is moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What’s been built up will collapse
All of your dreams
are fulfilledLast night I dreamed that I dug my own grave
And I climbed down inside there to patiently wait
And down in the ground while I breathed the cold air
The blackbirds came down there to nest in my hairWhat’s moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What has been built up will collapse
All of your dreams
All of your dreams are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
