Cover art for Dear Dirty lyrics by Andrew Bird

Here's how the lyrics sounded to me from a recording taken at Gezelligheid 12-16-2012 (Live at Fourth Presbyterian Church) found at archive org slash details slash AndrewBird (downloadable, apparently with his permission).

Dear dirty, I’m a man strong and tall And I live in a cave, Using the blood to draw, blood to draw Animal like the boar Oh animal like the boar

Dear dirty I'm a manstrument too And I live in a cave Using the blood to draw blood to draw And I go to find more things Go for walk to find things 'Cause I could use some goo Animal love the gore

He said the lyrics were written by a friend named Jay (Jay Ryan maybe? Who has done a lot of his posters)
