Such a Common Bird

I am a lone wolf

A beauty and a beast

Both hunter and hunted

Soft tongue and sharp teeth

I'm torn from my travels

Yeah raw from this road

As I drink from storm puddles

And the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out

Help me figure you in

You're a shadow to me

That I echo when I sing

Help me figure this out

Help me figure you in

To the simple little melody

I have seen angels

They were sleeping in gutters

They were standing in bank lines

They were jumping from towers

They were calling like seagulls

But nobody heard

Such a beautiful message

From such a common bird

We want freedom for ourselves

But we can't give it to each other

We want peace between nations

Yet we battle with our lovers

We're blinded by billboards

And trying to get ahead

We're choking on ambitions

And the words left unsaid

All the words left unsaid

With a simple little melody

I am a lone wolf

A beauty and a beast

Both hunter and hunted

Soft tongue and sharp teeth

I'm torn from my travels

Yeah raw from this road

As I drink from storm puddles

And the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out

Help me figure you in

You're a shadow to me

That I echo when I sing

Help me figure this out

Help me figure you in
