Birdcage Songtext
von The Hackles

Your smile was shining like a dime in the Indiana moonlight
Kicking shotgun shells in a ring around the fire
What a life you lead
Just a lighter for a lie

Cut off all your friends and then ran yourself out of town
Threw another towel over the birdcage
What a life you′ve made
To decide the end of days

This one to remember right from wrong
This one is forever bite your tongue
Your tongue


One eye is black as oil, both eyes are blue
Faithful to the back of an almighty hand
What a model man
We learn from whom we can

Buy your girl a dress and whisper she looks small and sweet
Kill a deer and dress it in the middle of the street
What a lady she
What a prize for all to see

Yellow sugar-sweat stains on your birthright t-shirt
Burn hot and dissipate like the Fourth of July
My oh my, oh my
How we light up the night sky

This one to remember right from wrong
This one is forever bite your tongue
Don't be the one and only one
This one is forever bite your tongue
Your tongue
