When Little Bird wakes the fuck up
how are you going to explain
even to save your sorry skin
now what to do, drink from the cup

Little Bird is all grown up now
if you act like a total pain
to skate then where the ice is thin

to treat badly, what memories
lick salt, eat grass, better a cow
endlessly remove obstacles

Brilliant! Wake up or Little Bird
is full of intentions, hackles
raised, aroused by scent, in a word
deign to say, what accessories

wake up, wake up, where to begin
as you well know, before the end
kindness like a kick in the head
endgame to come, first to open
so sorry, if you cannot choose

the fuck you know how to defend
homeless, helpless, hopeless, in bed
extended on seats on the train

forgotten by the world, you lose
understanding, nothing makes sense
call out to Little Bird, you dare
kiss the air, cheek to cheek, defense

understood, your body, to care
pray tell, your life thrown down the drain
