The bluebird

There's a bluebird in my heart

That wants to get out

But I'm too tough for him I say

Stay in there, I'm not going

To let anybody see you

There's a bluebird in my heart

That wants to get out

But I pour whisky on him and inhale

Cigarette smoke and

The whores and the bartender an the grocery clerks

Never know that he's in there

Then I put him back

And he's singing a little in there

I haven't quite let him die

And we sleep together

Like that with my secret pact

It's nice enough to make a man

Weep, but I don't weep

Do you?

There's a bluebird in my heart

That wants to get out

But I'm too tough for him I say

Stay down, do you want to mess me up?

You wanna screw up the works

You wanna blow my book sales in Europe

There's a bluebird in my heart

That wants to get out

But I'm too clever I only

Let him out at night sometimes in there

When everybody is asleep I say I know that you're there

So don't be sad

Then I put him back

And he's singing a little in there

I haven't quite let him die

And we sleep together

Like that with my secret pact

It's nice enough to make a man

Weep, but I don't weep

Do you?
