Birdcage - Dave Eggar

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
