Mock Orange

Birds Lyrics



I take it you went to town. Saw all the sights to see.

Saw all the birds on the ground looking for things to

eat.

But I wasn't there and I couldn't be there. Probably

didn't care enough to know.

I can be wrong. I'm usually wrong. Guess I didn't know

but now I know.

Give you a hook baited with something that you say you

don't like.

Try it and like it, give it to a friend who doesn't think

about it but likes it anyway.

Gives it to a friend. That's how songs take off with a

couple of friends.

Driving around looking for a fight on a Saturday night

'cause that's the way I am.

But I'm not really that way. I've got a book and a pen.

See you keeping your eyebrows raised. Until that moment

the story aches.

Until that moment the pressure breaks. I sit back and

contemplate what I'm doing.

Something's always coming up and around.

Can you hold your feelings when you've been let down.

Something's coming up.
