Lyrics to Blackbird On The Wire
Eyes to take you dancing,
Mouth to leave your wife,
Legs to run away with
And you wonder why.
Heart that makes you bypass
Every other girl,
Smile that keeps you grinning
At the madness of this world
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
Front to make you happy,
Back to make you weep,
Lips to keep you kissing
Whilst everyone's asleep
Tears to break a backbone,
Laughs to win a war,
People come and ask me
What I love you for
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
Down Below...
down below...
down below...
Mouth to leave your wife,
Legs to run away with
And you wonder why.
Heart that makes you bypass
Every other girl,
Smile that keeps you grinning
At the madness of this world
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
Front to make you happy,
Back to make you weep,
Lips to keep you kissing
Whilst everyone's asleep
Tears to break a backbone,
Laughs to win a war,
People come and ask me
What I love you for
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
Down Below...
down below...
down below...
