The Absence of Birds The Radio Dept.

There’s a drum beat
And a verse
Flooding my street
And the girls they seem ecstatic
This time it’s not on them
To take the blame
For the commotion

In the front seat
Of the car you left out here
I’ve spent far too many hours
Still can’t drive
Just playing through these tapes
Til it gets light outside

These are things I shouldn’t do
Just wish I was close to you
Instead a block party with neighbours
These amplified words
And the absence of birds

Roll down the windows
Not a choice
Find the endo
I bet these boys will keep on dancing all night
For once they’re not the ones being blamed
For the commotion
