TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE
TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE PERCHED AND READY TO GO
ONE FLIES UP HIGHER THE OTHER GOES DOWN LOW
A MAN AND HIS WIFE CAUGHT IN THE POURING RAIN
HE SENSES COOL PLEASURE SHE FEELS ONLY PAIN
A YOUNG COUPLE KISSING ON THEIR FIRST DATE
HE’S IN A HURRY SHE JUST WANTS TO WAIT
A GLASS ON THE COUNTER HALF-FILLED TO THE TOP
THE OPTIMIST FEEL’S GO THE PESIMIST SEE’S STOP
TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE START FALLING IN LOVE
THE BLACK ONE’S A STARLING THE WHITE ONE’S A DOVE
SWEET CHIRPING AND SWOONING LIGHTING THE FIRE
NATURE AT ITS FINEST TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE
TWIN SISTERS ON A BENCH AS DIFFERENT AS CAN BE
ONE’S HUNG UP ON EVERYTHING THE OTHER SO FREE
WHAT’S RIGHT AND WRONG IS ALL IN THE MIND
THROW AWAY THE RULES TRUTH’S WHAT YOU’LL FIND
TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE THEN ONE FLIES AWAY
THE OTHER THINKS IT OVER AND DECIDES TO STAY
IS A MOMENT LOVE IS OVER HOW FAST THINGS CHANGE
TWO NEW BIRDS ON THE WIRE NOW ISN’T LOVE STRANGE
