Metal Bird

Like a metal bird
With a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage
One thing’s for certain
She will never fly away
Like a metal bird
With an old, old heart
Living in a tiny cage
One thing’s for certain
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
Looking in the glass
And she’s wondering why?
Wondering all the chances
That have passed her by
Beauty has a price to pay
She will never fly away
Wondering at the river flooding
Flooding down her road
She’s soaking wet
And freezing to the bone
Warmth has a price to pay
She will never fly away
Wondering at the roses
That have grown so tall
Climbing creepers
If she climbs she’ll fall
Safety has a price to pay
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
Just like a metal bird
With a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage
One thing’s for certain
She will never fly away
Like a metal bird
With an old, old heart
Living in a tiny cage
One thing’s for certain
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
Catch her in the birdsong
As they fly away
Catch on the riverbank
On a summer’s day
Catch her in a car shine
By the launderette
Running in the soapsuds
She’s down the drain again
Catch a little boat
To the other side of the road
Catch a little boat
Catch a little boat
Catch a little boat
To the other side
Going to sail the sea in the garden
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
She will never fly away
Just like a metal bird
With a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage
One thing’s for certain
