Into The Birdcage

from The Birdcage by Struwwelpeter

/

lyrics

Come into my thoughts
It's clear that we ought to be
Thinking way more clearly
Let's rationalize
We're cutting all ties from here
Kick ourselves into gear

I'll be waiting in line, debating
Whether or not I've got something to hide
Simple pleasures in simple weather
Love me or leave me, just try to decide

Take me into the birdcage
And shoot me in the head
If I'm twitching and screaming
Shoot me again, make sure I'm dead

Take me down a peg
I've been way too negative
There's too much to forgive
Break my face in half
It's good for a laugh or two
Smiling as I turn blue

In a while I'll be all smiles
Reach out my hand and you slap it away
My summation, I'm your creation
A common or garden variety day

I have to smile and laugh at everything you say
I have to grin and bear the nightmare either way
I'm okay
(Today's just another day)

It takes a while to die in style
Break out the silver and give me a light
Combinations of sweet impatience
I'm too frustrated to sleep through the night
