The song "Head On A Stick" by Circling Birds

lyrics

A house without you is not a home.
Every meal without you is just gristle and bone.
Without you, every moment's an unknown...but you know that...
you know that I don't want to be alone...
don't want to be alone anymore...don't want to be alone.

I'm up here all alone.
But I can see my bone.
I can see my crone.
I can see my home.
I see an empty throne.

My laugh without you is just a moan. Its just a moan.
My chair without you ain't no throne.
Without you, my Queen, I'm overthrown...I'm overthrown.
Yeah, My head is on a stick overlooking moat
watching them fishermen...carry their catch...back home.

I want to be your King-Conqueror...
and protect you from the whole Horror-Show.
I want to toss golden coins with slain foreign kings as heads
at your marble feet...I want a home sweet home...
and I want meat...not just your gristle...not your gristle and bone.
So give me your love, my dear, and I promise you
it won't be my head on that wall...
I'll make them all fall in love with you.

I'm up here all alone.
But I can see my bone.
I can see my crone.
I can see my home.
I see an empty throne.

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.
