Here they come the smothering dimensions
Come the usual low expectations
Talk talking about the amounts you drink
Perversly amused watching the world sink

Got your number got your address got you
A way of knowing what is always for the best
If I could make you happy I would stay put
If I make you miserable I shut up

Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery

They are your friends but this is more true: lose
Them before their peace invades and kills you
Go to where you know you're basically loved
Go to where you're allowed to rise above

Been a while since anyone came around
They only come when they are equally low
After all you never were one who says no
A streak they despise when they're on terms with life

Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery

Everybody's got that loving feeling
But most need a forenisic to find it
With friends like that who needs swimming lessons
Pockets full of rocks and life guard absent

You're the anecdote the pun and the joke
One who makes them feel fit to reproduce
Yes boss not on the list receptionist
No I have not done it yet no on it

Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
Birds are singing deep within the greenery
