Building a Bird

I'm building a bird From the wreck of a story Something I once heard Sifting through this pile of words I'm building a bird I'm building a bird From a crack in the system Sunshine, it's a dirty word Slippin' out this naked world And building a bird Take a broken bird home Wrap it in barbed wire Saddest song I ever heard Was a bird in a house on fire I'm building a bird From the wreck of a story Something I once heard Sifting through this pile of words I'm building a bird All this scattered makeup From covering his curse All the scattered building blocks That never got to build a bird If you want it you can take it If you need it you don't know it If it moves screw it in the ground All around it's all over Tools and nail and glue and feathers All that's left from building a bird I'm building a bird From a crack in the system Sunshine, it's a dirty word Slippin' out of this naked world I'm building a bird Building a bird Building a bird Building a bird
