Bird On A Leash - Horse Feathers

As crass as your mother, keen to the chance

You would live by the seat of your pants

And you were taught you should have all things you can take

It’s getting caught that makes you a thief

By the skin of your teeth

It’s true you were running for cover

The worst of the worst was not done

You can’t find comfort in any other

Set in your ways like the sun

Not one tune had changes like scattered leaves

All her clothes strung out on the eves

There’s a reckoning that’s coming to make something right

There’s a man here who’s picking a fight

It’s on like a light

No future or history too bright

It’s true you were running for cover

The worst of the worst was not done

You can’t find comfort in any other

Set in your ways like the sun

She’s worrying me

A bird on some leash

Flying nowhere but dying to be

A bird on some leash

Flying nowhere but dying to be

Caught by some pride

Only virtue will get you untied

A bird on some leash

Flying nowhere but dying to be
