The song "Apple Of My Eye (Dirty Sanctuary)" by Circling Birds

lyrics

Oh, I'm a part of the crop dust.
I'm making motes in their eyes. Making motes in their eyes.
They have...They've got their fists clenched around...
around the glint in my eye...around the glint in my eye.
Oh, I...I will never die
as long as I refuse to dig out the apple of my eye.
Oh, I...I'm wormin'...
wormin' my way on out
but I'll need at least a cartridge a day
just to keep all the assassins away.
Give me dirty sanctuary.

Give me dirty sanctuary
so I don't have to build the high wall...the high wall.
Give me dirty sanctuary
before I fall, before I fall, before I fall.

Oh, I know, the copper gutter's saggin' low.
Its our upper-story oxbow.
I've sealed it off from the thirsty hard-scrabble below.
Oh, you know, I've never seen a moon so bright mean so little at all.
If you gave me a rocket ship tomorrow I'd part it all out for a high, a high wall.
You know I've never felt the breeze so warmly bend the grasses so low.
I can see the horizon plainly.
The curve is where I need to go.
Oh, you know that I would disappear
from all my previous sight-lines
but that hazy, hemispherical light
won't let me give up on the fight
but I want to...Lord, I want to.

Give me dirty sanctuary
so I don't have to build the high wall...the high wall.
Give me dirty sanctuary...before I fall, before I fall, before I fall.
Give me dirty sanctuary
so I don't have to build the high wall. The high wall.
Give me dirty sanctuary
before I fall.

about

Circling Birds Indianapolis, Indiana

Circling Birds is the result of three guys who have been playing music together since they were teenagers.

The "Circling Birds" sound is a chaotic yet familiar one. Wanting to capture the energy of the riff-driven rock of the 70's, they then sprayed all manner of influences onto the music. Country, Jazz, Modern experimental.

In a nutshell, Circling Birds brings the "Nasty" back to music.
