Hey little bird what did you do last night? Where the fireworks were lightning up the sky Up in the tree with a smile on your face Telling jokes about the human race Hung over in my hammock on New Year's Day Waiting for a sign in the clouds someway But only gray skies could prove me wrong Untill you came along and you sang me the song Bird on the wire you're the lucky one You can fly away to the morning sun While me and myself are stuck right here And most likely I'm gonna get nowhere Well I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one See from above and flying must be fun God gave you a purpose in life I got one too, never got it right Bird on the wire, little friend of mine Gonna fly away to the morning light I will hope I meen sitting here next year Waiting for the day, I'm gonna get somewhere Bird on the wire you're the lucky one You can fly away to the morning sun While me and myself are stuck right here And most likely I'm gonna get nowhere Bird on the wire you're the lucky one You can fly away to the morning sun While me and myself are stuck right here And most likely I'm gonna get nowhere And most likely I'm gonna get nowhere
