There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say "stay in there. I'm not going to let anybody see you."
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there.
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say" stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe?"
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm to clever, I only let him out at night sometimes, when everybody's asleep. I say," I know you're in there so don't be sad." then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there. I haven't quite let him die, and we sleep together like that, with our own secret pact, and its nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?
