Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Been pushin’ that steel
Been grindin’ that axe
Been pushin’ real hard
Tryin’ to find my way back
To home
Where the flocks of feathers raom
To where mom talks on the telephone
To dad who lives three cables away
Drinks himself to sleep about everyday
And I know it aint fair
And I know it aint right
But I know that this is life
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Its when you try to fly back
But the scents gone cold
But you’ve still got a tale
That’s got to be told
Like the one
Of a girl called bitch
With flowers in her room
Kept alive while sleeping in a tomb
And I hope she finds her way out soon
Like a babe in an evershrinkng womb
But the umbilical’s caught
The body won’t push
And theres life in those underdeveloped fingers
That pull and grip
And cling to the sides
Of a slippery slope
And I know it aint fair
And I know it aint right
But I know that this is life
I prayed to god twice a day
But he wasn’t there
I prayed to god twice a day
But he wasn’t there
I prayed to god twice a day
But he wasn’t there
I prayed to god
I prayed to god
I swear to god he don’t care
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
As if air was canned
As if breath was bagged
As if you and I could be contained
In brail
In jail
In a hailstorm of locks and clocks
They always try to force the lid
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
Oh where’s birdie now
Just give me a reason why
Oh where’s birdie now
Tell me why you don’t fly by no more
