Birmingham Lyrics - Legerdemain - Duncan Sheik

(intro) 

The sun has wound down on Birmingham. 

The day cleared up. It's pretty grand. 

I did a little job with a friend of mine. 

Emptied the pockets of the people in line. 

I could do a lot worse on a saturaday night. 

I could sit in my flat and think of maybes and mights. 

I've been a long time coming just to get to here. 

If it comes this easy, you don't shed a tear. 

We do what we can, in Birmingham. 

We stick to the plan, in Birmingham. 

We make a few grand, in Birmingham. 

We live off the land, in Birmingham. 

Maybe I should clarify: 

I'm a bit complicated for such a simple guy. 

I don't need much, a few little things, 

some illicit riches to live like a king. 

I never was one to really believe 

all that talk about being where you're supposed to be. 

The truth is a joke, well it's just a cliche, 

like: "Life's what you make it" or "Live for today". 

We're taking a stand, in Birmingham. 

We stick it to the man, in Birmingham. 

We grow on the land, in Birmingham. 

We don't give a damn, in Birmingham. 

We do what we can, in Birmingham. 

We stick to the plan, in Birmingham. 

We make a few grand, in Birmingham. 

We live off the land, in Birmingham.
