The Karaoke Fallback Plan,
track released June 1, 2012
All of the birds on the bowery
Stair at there shuffling feet so that they don’t see
All of the things they don’t want to be
Then all alone there is me
Perched high atop of the world
Into the darkest sea I was hurled
A predator now just prey
For all the meat eating beasts that are coming my way
CHORUS
Of all the birds that I have ever known
I know now that I loved you the most
President’s aristocrat’s hobos and diplomats all the foreign wars on your TV
To a bird in a cage that is gilded in shame these things hold no meaning for me
After burner aircraft self proclaimed angles fly in formation cause they can’t fly alone
You'd let one sad bird define the rest of your life
then returned to the flock from once you had come
A broken puzzle piece tossed in a box in the dark
And hid far away from love
It took the kindness of heart And a mindset apart
To search for a spark and the key to the lock
CHORUS
Of all the birds that I have ever known
I know now that I loved you the most
We're just two lonely owls amongst a murder of crows
