Crows. There's murder afoot (and a-wing)...

lyrics

Crow girl crow girl sitting in a tree,
Swinging her legs and waving at me,
Keep both eyes on your silverware,
She'll steal your shinies without a care

Crow king, crow king sitting in a tree,
Crowing at the world and he's laughing at me,
Night comes round when he spreads his wings,
Black as night is the old crow king

CHORUS
There's murder in the air, there's blood across the moon,
and the crows are crowing their tuneless tune
with feathers black as black and wings that fill the sky
the murder crows are here and you don't ask why...

Crow witch, crow witch, sitting in a tree,
casting her evil eye at me
Black her beak as she calls her curse,
Black as the colour of the passing hearse

CHORUS

Crow, crow, crow, crow, murder in a tree,
Black as sin and all looking at me,
Take to the air to steal the sun,
wings block the light and the day is done.

CHORUS
