That this song follows "La Rapet" seems very significant in my eyes to the development of the dark fairy tale overarching the entire album.
To quote "La Rapet": "the birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
What follows is a song called "Bat You'll Fly". ...
"I could've told you," (THE SECRET)
"'Til we landed our way out," (FIGURE IT OUT)
"I could've you,
'Til we literally found a better way out.
"[May lay the doctor only gets what he wants,
Say so give it to the preacher now..." (THE PHANTOM'S PATRIARCHAL ROLE)
"Melody was hanging from the west wind damn all around,
Your mother said your girl's drunk]"
Avey Tare really is a lyrical genius, whether he knows what his own lyrics mean or not. ... lol
Also, the bird imagery almost strikes me as it symbolizing the malleable sexual/gender orientation of a child ... in other words I think when he says "the birds are calling for you, please don't follow" he's saying to the audience (a child) "don't end up queer" ... hint: Antony and the Johnsons' "I Am a Bird Now" ... Maybe I'm just gay and overanalyzing things.

Yeah I really doubt they're teaching a radical agenda of homo-phobia or hetero-enormity, asshole.
