Make a Picture Lyrics – Andrew Bird
Oh, I don’t wanna ride on your shoulders and put you in the hospital
I just wanna roll away boulders that they said wasn’t possible
Don’t you know that I’m an irrepressible optimist working with a fatal flaw?
Running in the streets with feral cats will be hard to mistake in the years apart
So tell us what you think you saw, tell us 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 those scowling faces
All those furrowed brows
All those burned-out cases
Make ’em take a bow (make ’em take)
About some smiling faces
Come on and show us how
Never mind the braces
Love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
I don’t wanna hear what’s impossible, falling with the Shepard’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, [?] hooks
Listen to the cries of the pliable populace, giving us a dirty look
They’re giving us the dirty looks, dirty looks now
They’re giving us the dirty looks
Make a picture, make it snappy
Make a picture, don’t look so happy
All those scowling faces
All those furrowed brows
All those burned-out cases
Make ’em take a bow (make ’em take)
About some smiling faces
Come on and show us how (a bow)
Never mind the braces
Love you anyhow
We love you anyhow
Love you anyhow, love you anyhow
Love you anyhow, love you anyhow
You will never sleep alone
