Like a metal bird With a cold, cold heart Living in a tiny cage One thing's for certain She will never fly away Like a metal bird With an old, old heart Living in a tiny cage One thing's for certain She will never fly away She will never fly away She will never fly away Looking in the gla** And she's wondering why? Wondering all the chances That have pa**ed her by Beauty has a price to pay She will never fly away Wondering at the river flooding Flooding down her road She's soaking wet And freezing to the bone Warmth has a price to pay She will never fly away Wondering at the roses That have grown so tall Climbing creepers If she climbs she'll fall Safety has a price to pay She will never fly away She will never fly away Just like a metal bird With a cold, cold heart Living in a tiny cage One thing's for certain She will never fly away Like a metal bird With an old, old heart Living in a tiny cage One thing's for certain She will never fly away She will never fly away Catch her in the birdsong As they fly away Catch on the riverbank On a summer's day Catch her in a car shine By the launderette Running in the soapsuds She's down the drain again Catch a little boat To the other side of the road Catch a little boat Catch a little boat Catch a little boat To the other side Going to sail the sea in the garden She will never fly away She will never fly away She will never fly away Just like a metal bird With a cold, cold heart Living in a tiny cage One thing's for certain
