Poor Dumb Bird - IDA

Poor dumb canary

You finally threw yourself in a glass

Treated you so badly

Gave you everything that you wanted

Poor dumb bird

You sang a song or two

You did it better than anyone else

They took it far as they could

They took it into their hands and it got to your gut

Poor dumb bird

You think you made it stop

You think you made it good

You think you saved your soul

You can watch from your box as they serve up what’s left of your beak

Poor dumb bird

The sun can rise if it wants

The rain can fall if it wants

The fire can strike where it likes

But when one good bird chooses to fly the whole sky starts to look better

Now that you’ve gone and lit up the sky And gone and left it burning

There’s no one left to do your work Though they’re already starting to try

Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue

Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue
