Wee Bird

Wee bird chirped and swore my life was a lie
And I thought that the fox was sly
But oh, boys, that fox just passed me by
While that wee bird squawked and damn near wrecked my mind

Now a birds' eye view is truly king
And I was just a pawn to her highness, the Feathered Queen
Still I wore that crown and tried my best to keep it clean

Cause that bird could sing, and that bird could fly
That bird could steal, and she sure could lie
And I reached into her wee bird mouth, and pulled the worm out
And it poisoned me. Yes, it poisoned me

Well, bye bye birdie, I think we both knew
That the nest we built for two, was best suited for you
Still I must admit that my love was true. Yes, it's true

I said a birds' eye view is truly king
And I was just a pawn to her highness, the Feathered Queen
Still I wore that crown and tried my best to keep it clean

Cause that bird could sing, and that bird could fly
That bird could steal, and she sure could lie
And I reached into her wee bird mouth, and pulled the worm out
And it poisoned me. Yes it poisoned me. It poisoned me

Wee bird chirped and swore my life was a lie
And I thought that the fox was sly
But oh, boys, that fox just passed me by
While that wee bird squawked and damn near wrecked my mind
