Lambert's song is a reference to Bukowski poem of the same name. Both are likely referring to the "bluebird of happiness."

This is a clever song. Turn 20 cents in to a ten means she's going to increase her money 50x (i.e., a $10 bill), but her plans didn't turn out and the 10 she got was a dime that she'll rub until she figured out what happened.

I also like the way she rhymes "dark" and "heart" by making the "k" extra soft and the "t" silent.

Oooo oooo oooo.
