lyrics

I hear myself speaking but
I don’t understand a single word
I’m both the squeaking mouse
in the beak and also the bird.
I had to learn the hard way
not to fly off into the sun
not to reach toward the banquet
before the praying is done

you can only know a diamond is real
if it bears some tiny flaw
we’re animals being animals
crows saying caw-caw

Don’t forget to pick the flowers
On your way up the mountain
Don’t forget your blessings
While you’re doing all that counting
I had to learn the hard way
That we’re all just blood and bone
Trying to be loved by everybody
Is a great way to end up alone

you can only know a diamond is real
if it bears some tiny flaw
we’re animals being animals
crows saying caw-caw
