bitter birdie

She held it all together For such a long long time But then she lost her audience And promptly lost her mind Let it all fall down to pieces Everything fell apart Much too tired to get hired Forget mend her broken heart Bitter birdie Not yet thirty But tired of it all Now that the world's all so connected Her song it feels so small La di la di la di la di la di la di lay Watch it all go up in flames La di la di la di la di la di lee Throw the ashes in the sea Bitter birdie, bitter birdie Bitter birdie, bitter birdie If a tree falls in the forest When nobody's around How is anybody certain That it even makes a sound? I shouted loud into the void But it never shouted back World's on fire Preach to the choir The train's all off its track Bitter birdie Not yet thirty But tired of it all Now that the world's all so connected Her song it feels so small Bitter birdie sings La la la la la la la di lay Watch it all go up in flames The vultures come to play Once the rest have gone away And la la la la la la di lee Throw the ashes in the sea Rebuild it all with me Put back together properly
