Birdsong
Birdsong makes me squirm
'Cause I've learned
To assume it's from a man
Standing by the road
Cig in tow
Making all kinds of demands
"Smile, sugar- sweet"
Eyes concrete
I stare intensely
Trying to appear
So austere
With a pinch of strong and angry
I like looking bad
Like a bag
Feeling the security
Of knowing no one's there
Who would care
Or make remakes at me
When I'm feeling fine
I resign
To the fact that there are eyes
Who won't let me be
As carefree
As they were when they were nine
I wish I could be
Safe inside my skin
I was nine when I
Skated by
And a big white truck stopped by me
Two grown men were there
I was scared
And they whistled at my hiney
Please stop staring
It would be
One thing if I thought you knew me
But I don't think you do
And it's rude
I should know cause I like staring
I wish I could be
Safe inside my skin
Birdsong makes me squirm
Cause I've learned
To assume it's from a man
Standing by the road
Cigarette in tow
Making all kinds of demands
'Cause I've learned
To assume it's from a man
Standing by the road
Cig in tow
Making all kinds of demands
"Smile, sugar- sweet"
Eyes concrete
I stare intensely
Trying to appear
So austere
With a pinch of strong and angry
I like looking bad
Like a bag
Feeling the security
Of knowing no one's there
Who would care
Or make remakes at me
When I'm feeling fine
I resign
To the fact that there are eyes
Who won't let me be
As carefree
As they were when they were nine
I wish I could be
Safe inside my skin
I was nine when I
Skated by
And a big white truck stopped by me
Two grown men were there
I was scared
And they whistled at my hiney
Please stop staring
It would be
One thing if I thought you knew me
But I don't think you do
And it's rude
I should know cause I like staring
I wish I could be
Safe inside my skin
Birdsong makes me squirm
Cause I've learned
To assume it's from a man
Standing by the road
Cigarette in tow
Making all kinds of demands
