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 the prey on you

You wouldn't want me to

For I am 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

And people come and ask me

What I love you for

But like the blackbird on the wire

I will not take the prey on you

You wouldn't want me to

For I am 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

And with a tongue built from quicksilver

And a character of steel

They actually come and ask me

How I feel

But like the blackbird on the wire

I will not take the prey on you

You wouldn't want me to

For I am 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
