Birds (On A Day Like Today)

and oh

how come i don't awake to the sun no more

when pixelated jackles say "when it rains, it pours?"

my stubborn curiosity will lead me right off course

and i guess its why marky ran away

to a sunnier LA

he found his brain in an apartment in Chinatown

so come on we can get

oh, so nervous and its a baby girl

thats why ive created this world

where you can come and find me when (come find me when)

you're just so bored of the shameless pay

from working the department

i know you're tired

but im complacent

lets pace around in our apartment

cause oh

when i rest my head i feel the fear of falling

and in my own town i trip to a far off land

thats the way

so forgive me for my lack of words

announcing adjectives are slowly pulling down my spine

and it seems each of them can't find a way to make any sense of it

just like me

and repeatedly the paper man says that its all wrong

and all i got are sedatives in these damn songs

but i grew up on them superstitions

probable cause for my lack of ambition at all

when i rest my head i feel the fear of falling

and in my own town i trip to a far off land

cause thats the way that it works on a day like today

gotta get out

gotta get out today
