"As The Birds Are" lyrics

Oh, to be as the birds are: unburdened by loneliness
Oh, to be a shining star so far away with no regret
Oh, to live in some photograph, smiling and in love
Far from where you said all that shit about freedom

Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
With them coyotes hollering in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me

Fancied myself the exception to almost any rule
Youth is wasted on the young, I was exceptionally cruel
Like any person, I am insecure
You never judged me for that mountain
You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough
I just drank up the fountain

Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
With them coyotes hollerin' in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me

They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
