Such a Common Bird

I am a lone wolf A beauty and a beast Both hunter and hunted Soft tounge and sharp teeth I'm toned from my travels Yet raw from this road As I drink from storm puddles And the stories I'm told Help me figure this out Help me figure you in You're a shadow to me That I echo when I sing Help me figure this out Help me figure you in To this simple little melody I have seen angels They were sleeping in gutters They were standing in bank lines They were jumping from towers They were calling like seagulls But nobody heard Such a beautiful message From such a common bird We want freedom for ourselves But we can't give it to each other We want peace between nations Yet we battle with our lovers We're blinded by billboards And trying to get ahead Choking on ambition And the words left unsaid I am a lone wolf A beauty and a beast Both hunter and hunted Soft tounge and sharp teeth I'm toned from my travels Yet raw from this road As I drink from storm puddles And the stories I'm told Help me figure this out Help me figure you in You're a shadow to me That I echo when I sing Help me figure this out Help me figure you in
