Nightbirds

Feathers and furs nightbirds
Only come out after dark
Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
Crying like no meadowlark

Velvet and pearls mausoleum girls
Leathery jacketed boys
Out on a limb at the end of the bar
Shunned from the island of joy

Waiting for the silver moon to come
And set ya free
Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
Like a jailbird's dream, dream

Powder and gloves night doves
Only come out after hours
Think with perfume by the light of the tomb
Fresh as a funeral flower

Waiting for the silver moon to come and set ya free
Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
Like a jailbird's dream

Feathers and furs nightbirds
Only come out after dark
Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
Crying like no meadowlark
