I´m building a bird
From the wreck of a story
Something I once heard
Sifting through this pile of words
I´m building a bird

I´m building a bird
From a crack in the system
Sunshine, it´s a dirty word
Slippin´ out of this naked world
And building a bird

Take a broken bird home
Wrap it in barbed wire
Saddest song I´ve ever heard
Was a bird in a house on fire

I´m building a bird
From the wreck of a story
Something I once heard
Sifting through this pile of words
I´m building a bird

All this scattered makeup
From covering his curse
All the scattered building blocks
That never got to build a bird

If you want it you can take it
If you need it you don´t know it
If it moves screw it in the ground
If it´s around it´s all over
Tools and nail and glue and feathers
All that´s left from building a bird

I´m building a bird
From a crack in the system
Sunshine, it´s a dirty word
Slippin´ out of this naked world
And building a bird
And building a bird
