Lyrics
Oh, my talking bird Though you know so few words They're on infinite repeat And your brain can't keep up with your beak And you're kept in an open cage So you're free to leave or stay And Sometimes this makes you confused but there is no hint that I'm trying to give you The longer you think, the less you know what to do And 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 Though your feathers are tattered and curled I'll 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
