"Bird Woman" lyrics

There's a woman in the park facing east, moving slow
Bringing her fists into her gut like she's pulling a boat in
There's a mockingbird going hog wild, singing every song he's ever known
A show-off, no doubt, just tryin' to get laid

And I wanna be the woman
But I'm really just the bird
Yeah, I wanna be the woman
But I'm really just the bird

I held him in the hotel room
Like a half-pint of Hennessy
He came and told me all the plans he'd made for us
But when she comes home from the city
And they share a bed again
I find the reasons plans must be delayed

And I wanna be the woman
But I'm really just the bird
Yeah, I wanna be the woman
But I'm really just the bird

Yeah, I wanna be the woman
But I'm really just the bird
