lyrics

Birds of a Feather

I woke to the sun just before it was done
Just long enough to know it was there
The girl on my shoulder reminds me I’m older
But no one said living was fair
Some live to die, others live to try
Some find their solace in wine
One guy I know takes every step slow
He missed a rose once and took it as as sign

That birds of a feather all flock together
So will pigs and swine
Rats and mice will have their choice
And so will I have mine
And so will I

I fell asleep to the moon while it sang me a tune
About a picture that hung on a wall
By floating alone through the lonely ozone
it saw the world and the glory of it all
But some of us hang low from the weight that we know
Despite the wonder of all the places we’ve been
At the end of the day the sun goes aways
And like a picture we long to be seen

Because birds of a feather all flock together
So will pigs and swing
Rats and mice will have their choice
And so will I have mine
And so will I have mine
