lyrics

I was born a bright-eyed bird.
Grew to pace the song I heard
Mama let my hair grow long
I skinned my knees I moved along.

When I was a laughing child
for savage joy my heart ran wild
I never learned to love your cage.
I never liked it anyways.

Oh Artemis put down your bow
And help me close the hole it drove.
I tasted freedom on your lips
And now I can't forget your kiss
Now I can't forget your kiss.

I was born coyote eyes.
Danced with truth but never lied
If in that dance sweet truth should fall
I'd pick her up, and move along.

And so I tore my proper clothes
And went out on an open road
My lover left me in her bed
Too smart for my own good she said
To smart for my own good she said.

Artemis put down your bow
And help me close the hole it drove.
I tasted freedom on your lips
And now I can't forget your kiss
Now I can't forget your kiss.

I was born with cloven hooves
Crying on the overlook
The moon looked down, said I caught her eye
Sang "everything's gonna be alright"
"Oh you know everything's gonna be alright"
"now everything, is gonna be alright"
"no no everything is gonna be alright"
"no everything is gonna be alright."

Shooting star blew through my chest.
Laid my idle fears to rest.
When the huntress bit my neck
I felt our spirits intersect
Oh I felt our spirits intersect.

Artemis put down your bow
And help me close the hole it drove.
I tasted freedom on your lips
And now I can't forget your kiss
Now I can't forget your kiss.
