Andrew Bird - Make a Picture Lyrics

Oh, I don't wanna ride on your shoulders or put you in the hospital
I just wanna roll away boulders that they said was impossible
'Cause don't you know there are many repressible optimists walking with the fatal flaw
Running in the streets like feral cats
Will be hard to mistake any and raise a paw

Tell us what you think you saw
What you think you saw
Tell us what you think you saw
Make a picture
Make it snappy
Make a picture
Don't look so happy

All the scowling faces
All those furrowed brows
All those burn-out cases
Make 'em take a bow (Make 'em take a bow)
How 'bout them smiling faces?
Come on and show us how
Nevermind the braces
Love you anyhow
We love you anyhow

I don't wanna hear what's impossible
Falling with the shepherd's tone
And if we're ever gonna get out of this hospital
You will never sleep alone
Listen to the cries of the wounded metropolis
(?) sits on tenterhooks
I listen to the cries of the pliable populace
Giving us some dirty looks

They're giving us some dirty looks
Dirty looks now
They're giving us some dirty looks
Make a picture
Make it snappy
Make a picture
Don't look so happy

All the scowling faces
All those furrowed brows
All those burn-out cases
Make 'em take a bow (Make 'em take a bow)
How 'bout them smiling faces?
Come on and show us how
Nevermind the braces
Love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
Love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
And then we sleep alone
Love you anyhow
And then we sleep alone
