"Bluebird" lyrics

I'm a bluebird over your house
It was raining real hard
It took me down to you like a fool

Singing "Black Betty"
Drop the confetti

Your window
Your lipstick
Your blue jeans
Your fishnets
You're stealing my kisses
Would you be my missus?

I'm just a bluebird sitting in your hands
In the center of the badlands
Nightingale, nightingale

But these days, you can never really come around
And we don't really talk about it
Everything that happened then, it's still with us now
And severed head in the lost-and-found
Right next to a jar of heartache
A story that's in two parts
A story without an ending

A broken bluebird singing out loud
I'm changing the tune coming out of my mouth
I once flew straight down to you

I'm singing "Black Betty"
Drop the confetti

Your window
Your lipstick
Your blue jeans
Your fishnets
You're stealing my kisses
Would you be my missus?

I, I'm a bluebird sitting in your blouse
You're cradling me, calming me down
Nightingale, nightingale

But these days, you never really come around
And we don't really talk about it
Everything that happened then, it's still with us now
And severed head in the lost-and-found
Right next to a jar of heartache
A story that's in two parts
A story without an ending
