Oh, my talking bird Though you know so few words They're on infinite repeat And your brain can't keep up with your beak And you're kept in an open cage So you're free to leave or stay And sometimes this makes you confused But there's no hint that I'm trying to give you And the longer you think The less you'll know what to do It's hard to see your way out
When you live in a house in a house 'Cause you don't realize That the windows were open the whole time But, oh, my talking bird Though your feathers are tattered and curled I'll love you all your days Till the breath leaves your fragile frame It's all here for you As long as you choose to stay, hey It's all here for you As long as you don't fly away
