Birds in the City ft. Kamen Lyrics

Watching the waves roll by

You can hear their far-away cry

Above the sea, to the sky

With their feathers so bright

They fail every time they try to fly

So instead they creep on you with one eye

They try to take away your pride

Smoothly glide

Through people they hide

Yeah

It's just what happens when the breeze

Takes the far from the beach

It's just a figure of speech

You can see what it means

To be a bird on the street

They try to talk to you

They try to bother you

They try to make you go their ways

Covered in filth

Buried in guilt

They fly down to the waste

Just to get a little taste

From this empty place

Lost in time and space

And just when you think that their song is about to begin

Oh, their screams break in

It's just what happens when the breeze

Takes the far from the beach

It's just a figure of speech

You can see what it means

To be a bird on the street
