Bird On A Wire

(album: Old LP - 2019)

Buried alive and about to burst
Why am I surprised when I'm so well rehearsed?
I'm getting tired and I'm dying of thirst
I keep turning the dial but the tape is stuck in reverse
It's taking a while and it's only getting worse

And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've known and it's all I've ever done
I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun

Leading the blind when the lines are blurred
On borrowed time living word to word
Sometimes it fine but sometimes it really hurts
It's okay if I want to run
Far away if I want to run
It's okay if I want to run
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've known and it's all I've ever done
I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun

It's okay if I want to run
Far away if I want to run
It's okay if I want to run
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

It's all I've ever known
And all I've ever done
