Lyrics

I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed, now I don't believe a word
I can see that mocking bird
I know he'll never leave though his taunts can't hurt
When he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
He will never leave my side
Brave though he is, I know the countless times he tried
He will meet my fear and pride
I know he'll never leave and I cannot hide
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
I can see that bird of shame
I won't be ruled by anger and I won't play the game
I can see that bird of shame
I'm stronger than that now, I won't bear the blame
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed, now he's seen but never heard
I can see that mocking bird
I know he's there behind and his taunts can't hurt
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
In his bird disguise, he's singin' lies
He'll make you cry by singin' lies
