There’s a bird outside on the power lines
Across the street from where my head lies
Summer’s gone but still he sings his songs
His flight due south feels too long
So I grab my smokes, I put on my coat
I’ve got to try and be less jaded
I’ll stand outside with a will to fly
But clipped wings keep me from escape-
I’d trade my soul and all I own
If it meant that I could escape this
Town I’m in, long forgotten friends
This house, this fucken basement
So I grab my smokes, I put on my coat
I’ve got to try and be less jaded
I’ll stand outside with a will to fly
But clipped wings keep me from escape-
Birds of prey, fly away
I’m just a swallow singin’ in a winter rain
Birds of prey, fly away
I’m frozen in this idle state, frozen in this idle state
I don’t feel myself these days
Everyone else flew south
But here I stay singing without meaning
Sleeping but not dreaming
Flying but not leaving
Flying but not leaving!
Birds of prey, fly away
I’m just a swallow singin’ in a winter rain
Birds of prey, fly away
I’m frozen in this idle state, frozen in this idle state
I’m frozen in this idle state
