Songbird Son

He was a songbird son

She was a Hitchcock blonde

And they were on the run

She was on some toothache diet

He’d become so unexcited

On a canal bank night

Under a glove box light

His summer song died quiet

Songbird son you lost your right to sing

Message better left unsent

Don’t say nothing

Message better left unsent

Don’t say nothing

[Instrumental]

And so they made their camp

On a runaway truck ramp

Yeah, they were on the run

The tent gets filled with sun

And in her dreams the tanning bed turns on

And now the chapter crash

The CHP lights flash

His summer song died quiet

Songbird son you lost your right to sing

Message better left unsent

Don’t say nothing

Message better left unsent

Don’t say nothing

Some things better left unsaid

Don’t say nothing

Message better left unsent

Don’t say nothing
