This Bird

[Verse 1] Once in a time where the girls feel like girls And the world is painted cotton candy Where the sweet lemonade of McGregor Street Was the best damn thing of the summer breeze Your dad drives a foreign car And your mama looks like a beauty queen [Verse 2] Now the sour bitter days of a colorless place Seems to light up my nights somehow And the music I play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be So, I don’t have to hear myself think So, I don’t have to wake up from this dream [Verse 3] I don’t wanna sing no single mama blues I’m not singin', "Look at me, I’ve been abused" Oh, I’m another silly lost girl staring at you So, maybe I’ll put on my high heel shoes And soar the night away And soar the night away But whatever I do… [Chorus 1] I’m not gonna slow this bird down I don't wanna look life in the eye I'm not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life I’m not in denial, I’m not suicidal Not an alcoholic, I’m not out here hoeing So, just shut the fuck up This bird’s not slowing down [Verse 4] Once in a while when the Sun does its job Lets the clouds take a nice day off I can breeze through the day and just run through night Hearing cheers come from those big blue eyes His smile blazes like fireworks On the evening of Fourth of July So, I got reason to fly [Chorus 2] I’m not gonna slow this bird down I don't wanna look life in the eye I don't wanna fall face first in the spiral called a life I’m not in denial, I’m not suicidal Not an alcoholic, I’m not out here hoeing So, just shut the fuck up This bird’s not slowing down [Post-Chorus] Slowing down Down, down, down, down Slowing down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Slowing down [Spoken Interlude] It’s not over yet The song isn’t over yet [Outro] Ain’t no birds gonna slow me down I’mma keep on rolling And ain’t no birds gonna slow me down Keep on rolling And ain’t no birds gonna slow me down I’mma keep on rolling And ain’t no birds gonna slow me down
