Bird on a Wire Lyrics
Are you hoping to get out of this mess
truckloads of coffee, conditioned to confess
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
who’s dirty laundry are you turning out fresh
little miss bossy is brimming with breast
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
no station is final
popping the pricks and the pins
are you stopping to smell the good sins
are you stopping to lift the good dress
geriatric at 20 years old
break like a matchstick as soon as you’re told
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
no station is final
don’t do what I do
(you’re rotting now)
“yah whatever,” she said
truckloads of coffee, conditioned to confess
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
little miss bossy is brimming with breast
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
no station is final
are you stopping to smell the good sins
are you stopping to lift the good dress
break like a matchstick as soon as you’re told
you’re a bird on a wire
and you’re wrestling
no station is final
“yah whatever,” she said

so we have agreed that its nothing short of amazing... but what is it about... seeming older than you are? being a slut? seeming being older than you are because you a slut?
brilliant
u said it all
is it
Are you starving to lift the good dress?
and i don't hear him sing 'you're rotting now'
oh and, yes.. brilliant
I agree with SofiaO. I definately hear starving. However, I could be wrong.
"are you starving to smell the good sins are you starving to lift the good dress"
Who cares. This song is golden.
haha that's where the genius that is Rogue Wave comes in. Their songs are just so amazing even if you don't understand the lyrics at all. Most of them are very vague and can be interpreted many different ways so that it enhances intelligent thought and gives you something to think about. I love what they do, it's just amazing =]
during a concert, he said he wrote this song in a grocery store where he used to work.
i'm just wondering if he built this character based off of a customer that he saw. heck, its what i like to do at work. :D
This is a great song. The chorus is pretty uptempo and catchy, but check out the bass in the intro and verses. Excellent album starter.
just saw them in concert last night in columbus. amazing show. before this song he said something like, "this is a song about being employed and hating the employer." so apparently it's about working shitty jobs?
