Bird On A Wire

Artists : Kind Of Like Spitting : Bird On A Wire

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk at a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with its horn
I have torn everyone who's reached out to me
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You shouldn't ask for so much."
And a pretty woman kneeling in her darkened door
Screamed out to me, "Why not ask for more?"
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk at some midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
