[Intro]
[Verse 1]
City bird
City bird
Fly away
From my window
From my window
'Cause you don
't sing
Like the birds
from home sin
g
Your song is d
ying
[Verse 2]
I set the tabl
e for the ghos
ts in my home
My home
And pour the w
ine and raise
a glass
For the guests
in my home
[Verse 3]
They enter in,
in their skin
and in their
bones
Still in their
bones
The vision sca
res, but none
compares
To the dread o
f drinking alo
ne
[Chorus]
After the towe
r was turned t
o a tomb
The underworld
refugees all
Were refused b
y the banker
They can never
go in
So I let them
in
Ah-ha, city bi
rd
[Verse 4]
City bird
Fly away
From my window
From my window
'Cause you don
't sing
Like the birds
from home sin
g
Your song is d
ying
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
I light the ca
ndle for the g
hosts in my ho
me
My home
And say a prayer to please send care
For the guests
in my home
[Verse 6]
But in their s
leep, they cla
w and scream "
the Devil home
"
"The devil's c
ome home"
But that night
mare does not
compare
To the demons
in sleeping al
one
[Chorus]
After the towe
r was turned t
o a tomb
The underworld
refugees all
Were refused b
y the banker
They can never
go in
So I let them
in
Ah-ha, city bi
rd
City bird
Fly away
From my window
From my window
'Cause you don
't sing
Like the birds
from home sin

Your song is d
ying
