Canaries (Live)
I've helped 'em mine Iron, watched 'em mine coal
I've seen 'em mine rock salt from an infinite hole
Back underground no more will I go
Till the cold hands of death come mining my soul
So I'll pan for a song I one day will sing
I'll follow the vein to mold you a ring
I'll polish the stone for the sparkle it brings
Then I'll slip it on quickly just to see if it stings
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
So listen up all you miners, listen up well
All you men of the deep are caught under a spell
Cause there's warmth and there's whisky, there's women and wine
Up here where your words ride the winds through the pine
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
I've seen 'em mine rock salt from an infinite hole
Back underground no more will I go
Till the cold hands of death come mining my soul
So I'll pan for a song I one day will sing
I'll follow the vein to mold you a ring
I'll polish the stone for the sparkle it brings
Then I'll slip it on quickly just to see if it stings
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
So listen up all you miners, listen up well
All you men of the deep are caught under a spell
Cause there's warmth and there's whisky, there's women and wine
Up here where your words ride the winds through the pine
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
You're a bird in a cage in a drift
And they're blasting away at the rift
All the world is a stage
Fluff your feathers in rage
And fly off the page
Ever swift
