I woke up this morning with a heartbeat in my feet
gave my worst hello to every new girl that I meet
and I sing back everything every single word
and so I float along like a fallen mockingbird

All this decency it's getting on my nerves
learning to express myself without four letter words
and apathy it chases me to the end of the day
like a fallen mockingbird would have it any other way

Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake
But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait

Last night was one of those I didn't sleep a wink
so I wrote a lullaby I'll sing it to my shrink
she'll read into everything into every single word
then she'll just look at me like I'm a fallen mockingbird

I believe in a Sunday breeze that sends me on my way
I believe you can see my breath from at lease a mile away
and there's something to be said for accepting the absurd
and there's something to be said to a fallen mockingbird

Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake
But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait

Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake
But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait
