Oh, my talking bird

Though you know so few words

They're on infinite repeat

And your kept in an open cage
C G F
So you're free to leave or stay

Like there is a hint I'm trying to give you

The longer you think
G C
The less you know what to do

Well it's hard to see your way out

When you live in a house in a house

'Cause you don't realize

That the windows were open the whole time

But oh, my talking bird
C G F
Though your feathers are tattered and furled

I love you all your days

'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame

It's all here for you

As long as you choose to stay

It's all here for you

As long as you don't fly away
