lyrics

Take back, take back all your own
the forgotten ones and the shaken souls
Take back, take back all your own

Make your face and spirit shown
Seal their fates as you wake their bones
Make your face and spirit shown

And prove that you love rock and roll
that it rattles your hips and it shakes your soul
Prove that you love rock and roll

Lie awake and think about how sad you were
Shoot it straight about how mad you were
Take your time to think about how good things are
Write a line and just be thankful that you've come this far

Take that, take that shaken soul
Show him all the things that I've been shown
Take that, take that shaken soul

And guide footprints on yellow roads
Prove that you're the one who painted them yellow
Guide footprints on yellow roads

Know your children still have goals
Even when our progression's slow
Know your children still have goals

Because there's never been a better time to have a fire in your eyes
Because if God is being greedy, he's got a good reason why
So place a guitar on your chest and put a sweater on
Place your forearm against the wood and strum lightly with your thumb

Take these, take these shaken souls
Take their given names and their given homes
Give them names and homes that are your own

Take that, take that shaken soul
The ones who love are the ones who know
The ones who love are the ones you know...

Quick Said the Bird Columbus, Indiana

At one of our very first shows, a friend dubbed us "an atmospheric folk pop orchestra" and we liked that. We prefer stomping floors to kick drums, hand-shakers to high-hats, and Casio-keyboards-through-tape-players to electric guitars. We try and create little backyard micro-epics. We hope we don't buff out too many of the imperfections. ... more
