Andrew Bird - Sweetbreads [HD] Live 

EP Fingerlings 1(2002)
Lyrics:
when i was a little boy,
i threw away my action toys
while i became obsessed
with operation
with hearts and minds and certain glands,
you learn to keep a steady hand, and thus began a morbid fascination
with sweetbreads
i could taste what you were thinking
ooh, sweetbreads
that's the taste of neurons
blinking
do you wonder where the self resides?
is it in your head, or between your sides?
and who's gonna
decide it's true location?
cos it's a
question for the centuries,
from communion to mad cow disease
but is it worthy of a song
or life's vocation?
oh, and the sweetest sweetbread
of them all
within the kingdom of our fall [??]
call of thoughts [??], and many foreign nations
they call them sweetbreads
i could taste what you were thinking
ooh, sweetbreads
that's the taste of neurons
blinking
does the thought of bile that's red and black,
the thought of tongues that taste you back,
fill you with a nauseous elation?
where a simple trip to the grocery store
could fill you with an abject whore
can you taste the misery
of those crustaceans?
oh, and the sweetest sweetbread of them all
within the kingdom of our fall [??]
and it shoulda caused some
sightly machinations
they call them sweetbreads
i could taste what you were thinking
ooh, sweetbreads
that's the tase of neurons blinking
oh, i could taste what you were thinking
oh, give me your thoughts about
sweetbreads
