Late New Years Eve paper hat on your head
It was hard to believe that you'd ever be dead
And that dream that you're falling you've had since you're five
Is a bird on your shoulder that whispers goodbye
What is moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What has been built up will collapse
All of your dreams are fulfilled
Evil Knievel shot up from dead grass
And I loved him better each time that he crashed
And Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed
She was certain that Skylab would fall on her head
What is moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What's been built up will collapse
All of your dreams are fulfilled
Last night I dreamed that I dug my own grave
And I climbed down inside there to patiently wait
And down in the ground while I breathed the cold air
The blackbirds came down there to nest in my hair
What's moving will be still
What has gathered will disperse
What has been built up will collapse
All of your dreams
All of your dreams are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
Are fulfilled
Are

The liner notes show Tift Merritt played guitar on here, but there was no ukulele on the album. More likely, Andrew Bird simply held his violin like an ukulele and strummed it that way.

Rennie Sparks is a brilliant lyricist. Bird gives this a delightfully different feel than the Handsome family. Nice version.
"They asked me if I was done with dinner, and I said 'Not yeti!'"
"....the food here is really gross and then I had to help in the kitchen because I broke the chair I was sitting on. It wasn't my fault!"
