The Handsome Family - Passenger pigeons

^GEver since you moved ^Emout I've been l^Civing in the p^Gark I'd rather t^Galk to the w^Emind T^Chan an empty ap^Gartment

And I w^Gish I could for^Emget How a b^Cillion birds flew ^Gin To my h^Gollow dying h^Emeart The f^Cirst time I touched your a^Grm

O^Emnce there were a b^Gillion p^Amassenger p^Cigeons So m^Gany flew by they d^Emarkened the s^Cky

But t^Ghey were clubbed and s^Emhot N^Cetted gassed and b^Gurned Until th^Gere was nothing l^Emeft But p^Ciles of empty n^Gests

^EmI can't beli^Geve ^Amhow easi^Cly A b^Gillion birds can disapp^Cear

The p^Gark is empty n^Emow It's ^Cso cold o^Gut And a^Gll the paddle b^Emoats Are c^Covered up with s^Gnow

But I^G'm still sitting h^Emere D^Crinking frozen b^Geer And th^Growing potato ch^Emips O^Cn to the white snow dr^Gifts Just in c^Gase a bird dec^Emides To f^Cly through here toni^Gght

^EmI can't beli^Geve ^Amhow easi^Cly A b^Gillion birds can disapp^Cear No ^EmI can't beli^Geve ^Amhow easi^Cly A b^Gillion birds can disapp^Cear
