There's a bird at my window
She watches it all
She sells what I'm doing
She's hoping I'll fall
There's a bird in the bush
And there's one in my hand
Lay waste to her head
It's all a game to me
I live dangerously
I want it all:
But I cannot pay the bill
Oh, take a chance
('cause nobody else will)
On me
No no
No, please
Take a chance on me
I tried to hide in the hole
There's a hole in my head
I broke clean her feathers
Now she's sick in my bed
There's a bird at my funeral
She's singing out loud
How the tears on her pillow
Won't heal her scars
It's all a game to me
I live dangerously
I want it all:
But I cannot pay the bill
Take a chance on me
(No baby, nobody else will)
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me, me
First she wanted me
Then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me
Then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me
Then she wanted me dead
First she wanted me
Then she wanted me dead
Solo
Deep down I know I cannot go
Take a chance on me
Can you please baby
Ohhh, take a chance on me
'cause nobody, nobody
I tell you mama:
I'm good baby
I'm good
Take a chance on me
Ohhh take a chance on me
