¶Lyrics / Text

There is a bird upon a high wire. It sits so strong and proud, above the city crowd. There is a bird upon a high wire. It’s a pretty little one just sitting in the sun. What does it ponder alone on that wire? To what lofty thoughts does it transpire? It’s a lovely little one that just… Eaauu!! It just messed up my brand new car. If I only knew a way, I’d make that birdie pay Sitting over thar!
