  • Limited Edition Polaroid Collage with Compact Disc.
    Poster/Print

    To prepare for the album release, we took a series of Polaroid portraits of Joy & Gordon at their home, in front of Joy's amazing painting. Shot by David McCarty on rare and out of print Polaroid 600 film, and hand-lettered, there is only one of these unique artifacts.

    If you purchase this special package, you get the custom CD plus this two-Polaroid collage. You will also receive a handwritten lyric sheet from Joy, plus a selection of Delicate Cycle fliers from years past. Basically it's the GRAND PRIZE of Delicate Cycle memories.

    This version of the collage didn't make the final cut of the album--we used a slightly different incarnation. Rest assured that you will be getting a unique piece of art that helped support the Delicate Cycle's music.

lyrics

Did you know when I walked into the room
You were gonna throw a line to me
And I’d be a fool not to grab ahold of you
When you wanted to get me

Did you get the measure of the fortune tellers
Did you count every card in the deck
Cause it’s near impossible to change from a fighter to a lover
And keep from turning back, turning back

(Bum ba ba ba)
We are birds,
Well aren’t we?

(Bum ba ba ba)
I’ll watch you while you watch me

(Bum ba ba ba, bum bum)
We are, oh we are birds
We are birds

What’s a feeling and what does it matter
What’s a message, what’s a word?
Don’t worry, I’m not waiting for an answer,
I got what I needed

(Bum ba ba ba)
We are birds,
Well aren’t we?

(Bum ba ba ba)
I’ll watch you while you watch me

(Bum ba ba ba, bum bum)
We are, oh we are birds
We are birds
