about

The lyrics for this track were taken from parts of the poem 'Bluebird' by Charles Bukowski. This was published in Bukowski's book "The Last Night of the Earth Poems" in 1992.

lyrics

There's a blue bird
That sits inside my heart
And nobody knows that he's in there

There's a blue bird
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart

And all the bartenders
The grocery clerks
And the whores
Don't know he's in there
Don't know he's in there

And I pour whiskey on him
And inhale cigarette smoke
Haven't let him die just yet
Haven't let him die, die

There's a blue bird
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart

You wanna mess me up?
Wanna mess me up
Wanna mess me up
Wanna mess me up

Late, late at night sometimes
I let him out
And we sleep like that
It's our secret pact
And it's beautiful
Enough to make a man weep

But I don't weep,
No I don't weep,
No I don't weep,
Do you?
Do you?
Do you?

There's a blue bird
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart

And there's a blue bird
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart
That sits inside my heart
