Birdcage

Heard you on the radio
Last May
Left you broke in Buffalo
Tuesday
Summertime didn’t clear your mind
No way
Rest my head, a lonely bed,
I made
All alone
The birdcage
All alone
The birdcage
Bitter pills and roadside thrills
Wake me
Fragile nights and canceled flights
Take me
The lipstick smiles and sequined tiles
Amaze me
Your words of haste leave bitter taste
That breaks me
All alone
The birdcage
All alone
The birdcage
Let me out of my rage
Linen sheets and shuffling feet
Around you
Dancing halls and wrecking balls
Confound you
Innocence and incidents
Come down to
The years gone by lying side by side
Surround you
All alone
The birdcage
All alone
The birdcage
One last song and one last dance
Tonight
A million tears, you tell me it’s
Alright
One last breath and then your soul
Takes flight
Thank you for
The bircage
Thank you for
The birdcage
Thank you for
My birdcage
Fly away
