Old 97's - Bird In A Cage lyrics

I left you last night on the left coast I'm writin' you a letter right now The things that you do are rendering you Something i can't live without Maybe maybe i've got a pulse now Maybe my heart's on fire A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire Left you last night on the left side The land of the free to be burned Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such That i've forgotten everything i've learned Maybe maybe i've got a problem Maybe my heart's a liar A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire And i may be a bird in a cage But it least it's your cage And i may be a bird in a cage But it least it's your cage Left you last night on the left half Of the bed, the half that used to be mine The way that you sleep is the image i'll keep Always on the edge of my mind Maybe maybe i've got a reason For livin' even though i'm so tired A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire And i may be a bird in a cage But it least it's your cage And i may be a bird in a cage But it least it's your cage Maybe maybe you are the only One my heart's desired A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
