lyrics

Well the rain comes down like confetti thrown out of some fat man's hand it hits the ground, and makes a sound and kicks the spit out of this small town but it has a pretty little bird

now the garbage tries to pass as graffiti and there's taxi yellow midnight sunlight there's a neon sign, that tells the time and spotlights a petty little crime seen by a pretty little bird

it thinks lalalalalalala... I'm a pretty little bird

There's a woman haunted by a back alley stalker a shadow-walker with a wooden cane she turns around and knocks him down and takes his cane as a crown then blows a kiss to a pretty little bird

Now the police car starts to go circus as they chase a running man down the street he climbs a fence, and things go tense as the guns come out and try to make some sense then they see a pretty little bird

they think lalalalalalalalala..... what a pretty little bird

There's a pizza joint on the corner on fire a 3 a.m. bonfire redder than a stop sign up goes the smoke, it's chased by ghosts running from the grease fire hosts and looking for a pretty little bird

Now the church has its congregation and they're standing on the church's front steps they look above, and see a dove having love without the glove with a pretty little bird

they think lalalalalalala...... what a pretty little bird
