Hatfield Juliana For The Birds lyrics

I really had to go downtown.
Go downtown and hang around.
Was not prepared for what I found.
A baby bird was lyin` on the ground.

Lying there in front of my feet.
Dying there right next to the street.
I picked it up and felt its heat.
I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep.

I`m trying, I`m trying, I`m trying
But I can`t get away from the thought.
It`s dying, it`s dying, it`s dying,
And it`s something that I couldn`t stop.
You`re lying, you`re lying, if you say
It`s gonna make it `cause I know that it`s not.

Hanging on a telephone line.
Witnessing a million crimes.
I`ve been alone all this time.
I`d call someone but I don`t have a dime.

I don`t care for boys or girls.
I`d rather hang around with the birds.
Humans only wreck the world.
They`d kill your whole family for a string of pearls.

I`m trying, I`m trying, I`m trying
But I can`t get away from the thought.
We`re dying, we`re dying, we`re dying.
Our insides are starting to rot.
You`re lying, you`re lying, if you say
We`re okay, `cause maybe we`re not.

Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh.
Oooh... ooh ooh... Wooo

If I had wings I`d try to fly.
But they don`t make it harder to die.
You can take it up to the sky.
But no one ever stays that high.
High... high...

I`m trying, I`m trying, I`m trying
But I can`t get away from the thought.
I`m dying, I`m dying.
I already gave away all that I`ve got.
I`m lying, I`m lying, if I say
That I`m cool `cause really I`m not
