Bluebird

You gotta hide behind the cloth you wear A sad surrender to the times Everyone around you with a cross to bear Yearning for the world they left behind Streets abandoned and the roads are bare You walk your dog if you dare Cafe's are closed and arrows are everywhere Touch a doorknob and you may die Talking heads on a TV screen You're not listening to a word Those frozen faces want to make you scream Fly, fly away, like a Bluebird Hugs and kisses are a language lost And frightened faces look away Six feet apart, a wave from across the street With smiling eyes but who can say? The shelves are empty and the jobs are gone Only essentials marching on They play the blame game, say the tests are false Living in a world that's come undone Talking heads on a TV screen You're not listening to a word Those frozen faces want to make you scream Fly, fly away, like a Bluebird
