Bird In a Cage - 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 withoutMaybe 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 wireLeft 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 learnedMaybe 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 wireYeah 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 cageLeft 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 mindMaybe 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 wireYeah 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 cageMaybe 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 wireA bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
Is worth a bird on a telephone wireA bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
