I'm your only friend |
|
i'm not your only friend |
|
but i'm a little glowing friend |
|
but really i'm not actually your friend |
|
but i am |
|
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch |
|
who watches over you |
|
make a little birdhouse in your soul |
|
not to put too fine a point on it |
|
say i'm the only bee in your bonnet |
|
make a little birdhouse in your soul |
|
I have a secret to tell |
|
from my electrical well |
|
it's a simple message and i'm leaving out the whistles and bells |
|
so the room must listen to me |
|
filibuster vigilantly |
|
my name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e |
|
my story's infinite |
|
like the longines symphonette it doesn't rest |

There's a picture opposite me |
|
of my primitive ancestry |
|
which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free |
|
though i respect that a lot |
|
i'd be fired if that were my job |
|
after killing jason off and countless screaming argonauts |
|
bluebird of friendliness |
|
like guardian angels its always near |

I have a secret to tell |
|
out when you're all by yourself |
|
there's a time when even you get up and leave your nothing to dwell |
|
i don't want to talk about that |
|
and no one listens to that |
|
but for the one who does, and she's the one you worry about |
|
don't you say anything |
|
if you have anything to do with it |

I'd like to cover the earth |
|
with a fresh-baked yummy dessert |
|
people couldn't live in it, but i think it's worth the money and hurt |
|
'cause i couldn't tolerate |
|
all the empty places in the world |
