Birds — текст песни (Elton John)

Theres some things I dont have now

Some things I dont talk about

These things are between myself and i

In my thick skull the joker hides



Theres consequences Im scared to taste

Cold hard truths I cant face

These days are different than the past

Reflections change in the looking glass



And everywhere I look theres something to learn

A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn

A hatful of quarters and a naked song

Dont answer the question of where we belong



How come birds

Dont fall from the sky when they die?

How come birds

Always look for a quiet place to hide

These words

Cant 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

Dont answer the question of what I am to you
