Birds Lyrics - Songs From The West Coast - Elton John

There's some things I don't have now 

Some things I don't talk about 

These things are between myself and I 

In my thick skull the joker hides 

There's consequences I'm scared to taste 

Cold hard truths I can't face 

These days are different than the past 

Reflections change in the looking glass 

And everywhere I look there's something to learn 

A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn 

A hatful of quarters and a naked song 

Don't answer the question of where we belong

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

How come birds 

Don't fall from the sky when they die? 

How come birds 

Always look for a quiet place to hide 

These words 

Can't explain what I feel inside? 

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide 

These independent moves I make 

This confidence I try to fake 

You can hear the beating of my heart 

But not a feather falling in the dark 

And everything I hear never makes any sense 

Another old prophet perched on the fence 

A cupful of pencils and a self help guru 

Don't answer the question of what I am to you 

How come birds 

Don't fall from the sky when they die? 

How come birds 

Always look for a quiet place to hide 

These words 

Can't explain what I feel inside? 

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide 

How come birds 

Don't fall from the sky when they die? 

How come birds 

Always look for a quiet place to hide 

These words 

Can't explain what I feel inside? 

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide 

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide 

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide
