Bird House In Your Soul - Lyrics by They Might Be Giants


Lyrics
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am.*chorus*
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
I've got a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the
Whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one-wordspelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinate
Like the Longines Symphonette
It doesn't rest*chorus*
There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and
Countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels is always near*chorus*(and while you're at it
Leave the nite light on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)
