lyrics

Good Morning to you, how do you do?
I'm doing all right , how bout you?
I'm tired and I'm lonely
And every day brings the same damn thing
Don't you want to hear your bird sing?
Walking with your head down,
Holding onto a bleeding rose
You ask your best friend why
He says that's just the way love goes
Isn't anything sacred any more
I get divorced and I'm still paying off my engagement ring
Don't you want to hear your bird sing?
Step down to the dance floor
Lights are flashing green and red
Find some laser lover boy
And take him home to bed
In the morning he gets up
Sighs and says he'll call you or something
Don't you want to hear your bird sing?
Back here again where the night is long
And you've been covered up with mirrors
The wine's gone bitter, you are wrecked on loss
And all you can hear is the constant fear
There's a black crow on your bedpost
Your dreams are on fire
And the day smells of gasoline
Don't you wanna hear your bird sing?
