Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I have been unture
I hope you know it was never to you
Like a baby, stillborn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
Don't acquire more ……
I say don't acquire anymore……
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
