Bluebird
You sardonic detractors
You bedbugs in this seedy mattress
This stage suits soliloquising actors
Only if you keep it to one-forty fucking characters
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of these savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
Cash in your bleeding heart tokens
Highest count proves that they're the most woken
Stack the pile with each angry word spoken
It's no fucking wonder society's broken
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of these savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
And it's fine to admit you don't know right from wrong
If you've not been tarred and feathered, you're not singing the right song
And every night I'm woken by some chirruping chickenhead
And I'll admit I thrill to read the awful things they've said
And they say
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of such savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
Yeah, that's how the bluebird flies
You bedbugs in this seedy mattress
This stage suits soliloquising actors
Only if you keep it to one-forty fucking characters
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of these savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
Cash in your bleeding heart tokens
Highest count proves that they're the most woken
Stack the pile with each angry word spoken
It's no fucking wonder society's broken
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of these savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
And it's fine to admit you don't know right from wrong
If you've not been tarred and feathered, you're not singing the right song
And every night I'm woken by some chirruping chickenhead
And I'll admit I thrill to read the awful things they've said
And they say
No play fair
Just step right
I'm blinded by the gaslights
Breaking legs and hearts
In this limelight
Baby, take a bow
Fuck your stage fright
Face the scrutiny of such savage eyes
What a perfect stage for such long goodbyes
That's how the bluebird flies
Yeah, that's how the bluebird flies
