For The Birds

[00:16.85] I really had to go downtown
[00:20.88] Go downtown and hang around
[00:24.84] Was not prepared for what I found
[00:28.91] A baby bird was lyin' on the ground
[00:36.97] Lying there in front of my feet
[00:41.22] Dying there right next to the street
[00:45.02] I picked it up and felt it's heat
[00:49.14] I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep
[00:59.16] I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
[01:01.97] But I can't get away from the thought
[01:07.19] It's dying, it's dying, it's dying
[01:10.08] And it's something that I couldn't stop
[01:15.12] You're lying, you're lying, if you say
[01:17.73] It's gonna make it 'cause I know that it's not
[01:27.28] Hanging on a telephone line
[01:31.18] Witnessing a million crimes
[01:35.20] I've been alone all this time
[01:39.20] I'd call someone but I don't have a dime
[01:47.26] I don't care for boys or girls
[01:51.23] I'd rather hang around with the birds
[01:55.36] Humans only wreck the world
[01:59.32] They'd kill your whole family for a string of pearls
[02:09.35] I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
[02:12.35] But I can't get away from the thought
[02:17.48] We're dying, we're dying, we're dying
[02:20.27] Our insides are starting to rot
[02:25.46] You're lying, you're lying, if you say
[02:27.97] We're okay, 'cause maybe we're not
[02:37.06] Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh
[02:44.62] Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh
[02:52.51] Oooh... ooh ooh... ooh
[03:17.65] If I had wings I'd try to fly
[03:21.64] But they don't make it harder to die
[03:25.88] You can take it up to the sky
[03:29.55] But no one ever stays that high
[03:34.69] High... high
[03:39.72] I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
[03:42.58] But I can't get away from the thought
[03:47.73] I'm dying, I'm dying
[03:50.08] I already gave away all that I've got
[03:56.05] I'm lying, I'm lying, if I say
[03:58.43] That I'm cool 'cause really I'm not
[04:08.07]
