About A Bird

(album: The Last Days Of Oakland - 2016)

There's a bird at my window, she watches it all
She sells what I'm doing, she's hoping I'll fall
There's a bird in the bush and there's one in my hand
Sweet empty pop lyrics, lay waste to her head

It's a game to me, I live dangerously
I want it all, but I cannot pay the bill
Ohhh, take a chance on me (because no one else will)
No no, No, please, take a chance on me

I tried to hide in the hole, There's a hole in my head
I broke clean her feathers, now she's sick in my bed
There's a bird at my funeral, she's singing out loud
How the tears on her pillow won't heal her scars

It's a game to me, I live dangerously
I want it all, but I cannot pay the bill
Ohhh, take a chance on me (because no one else will)
No no, No, please, take a chance on me

First she wanted me, then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me, then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me, then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me, then she wanted me dead

Deep down I know I cannot go
Please, take a chance on me
Baby please, baby
Please, take a chance on me
Ohhh, take a chance, 'cause nobody, nobody, I tell you mama
Please, take a chance on me
I'm good baby, I'm good, take a chance on me
Please, take a chance on me
