Letra
[Verse 1]
Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a down town train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a deadman's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up
[Verse 2]
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
[Verse 3]
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
And I've been stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Admire the view from up on top of the mast
[Verse 4]
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone
[Verse 5]
I said hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
[Verse 6]
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
[Verse 7]
Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a down town train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
[Verse 8]
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
