Lyrics

I Like Birds

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can't look at the rocket launch

The trophy wives of the astronauts

And I won't listen to their words

'Cause I like

Birds

I don't care for walkin' down town

Crazy auto car gonna mow me down

Look at all the people like cows in a herd

Well I like

Birds

If you're small

And on a search

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store

The mean little people are such a bore

But it's all right if you act like a turd

'Cause I like

Birds

If you're small

And on a search

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

If you're small

And on a search

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

If you're small

And on a search

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I've got a feeder for you to perch on
