For The Birds Paroles

A baby bird was lying on the ground



Lying there in front of my feet

Dying there right next to the street

I picked it up and felt its heat

I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep



I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought

It's dying, it's dying, it's dying
it's gonna make it 'cause I know that it's not



Hanging on a telephone line

Witnessing a million crimes

I've been alone all this time

I'd call someone but I don't have a dime



I don't care for boys or girls

I'd rather hang around with the birds

Humans only wreck the world

They'd kill your whole family for a string of pearls



I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought

We're dying, we're dying, we're dying

Our insides are starting to rot

You're lying, you're lying, if you say

we're okay, 'cause maybe we're not



If I had wings I'd try to fly

But they don't make it harder to die

You can take it up to the sky

But no one ever stays that high



I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought

I'm dying, I'm dying

I already gave away all that I've got

I'm lying, I'm lying, if I say

that I'm cool 'cause really I'm not
