Blackbird On The Wire |
| Eyes to take you dancing |
| mouth to leave your wife |
| Legs to run away with |
| and you wonder why? |
| Heart that makes you bypass |
| every other girl |
| Smile that keeps you grinning |
| at the madness of this world |
| But like the blackbird on the wire |
| I will not take prey on you |
| You wouldn’t want me to For I am too soft for such a thing |
| And like the blackbird on the wire |
| I just watch you by The tears I knew I’d cry |
| Fall unnoticed down below |
| Front to make you happy |
| back to make you weep |
| Lips to keep you kissing |
| whilst everyone’s asleep |
| Tears to break a backbone |
| laughs to win a war |
| And people come and ask me what I love you for |
| But like the blackbird on the wire |
| I will not take prey on you |
| You wouldn’t want me to For I am too soft for such a thing |
| And like the blackbird on the wire |
| I just watch you by The tears I knew I’d cry |
| Fall unnoticed down below |
| And with a tongue built from quicksilver |
| and a character of steel |
| They actually come and ask me How I feel |
| But like the blackbird on the wire |
| I will not take prey on you |
| You wouldn’t want me to For I am too soft for such a thing |
| And like the blackbird on the wire |
| I just watch you by The tears I knew I’d cry |
| Fall unnoticed down below |
