Hungry Bird - K.D. Lang, the Siss Boom Bang

A tree then whispered

«Have you heard the lullaby of the hungry bird that nests in me?»

Every day around noon

Sings a particularly alluring tune

That makes me weak

Hungry bird, tell me why

I pray and pray and pray that I turn to seed

One thing that confounds me yet

Why I just can’t let myself be free

Why sing if you got no one to hear you

Why fly if you got nowhere to go

A thousand arms from which you could choose now

Oh, but hungry bird, claim this bough
