Somebody Else
You've got to feed the birds if you want them to sing
I want to fly high in your hurricane
I only wish that you felt the same
And if you feed the birds, they'll grow feathers and wings
Like a ghost after death climbing out of his skin
Is a soul in flight such a terrible thing?
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knees
Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
You've got to feed the birds if you want them to fly
I'm a ghost of myself hung up from the sky
I don't even know myself enough to ask myself why
And if you feed the birds they will emigrate south
Was it you was it me, I was never in doubt
That we flew so high that the fire went out
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knee
Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
I want to save you from this world
And all the ways it makes you hurt
I want to save the world from you
And all the crazy things you do
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knee
'Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
And I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
I want to fly high in your hurricane
I only wish that you felt the same
And if you feed the birds, they'll grow feathers and wings
Like a ghost after death climbing out of his skin
Is a soul in flight such a terrible thing?
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knees
Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
You've got to feed the birds if you want them to fly
I'm a ghost of myself hung up from the sky
I don't even know myself enough to ask myself why
And if you feed the birds they will emigrate south
Was it you was it me, I was never in doubt
That we flew so high that the fire went out
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knee
Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
I want to save you from this world
And all the ways it makes you hurt
I want to save the world from you
And all the crazy things you do
And when you sing for me
It brings me to my knee
'Cos I know that you are singing for somebody else
But I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
And I will sing for you
No matter what you do
Even if I have to be
Somebody else
