In The Birdcage (part I)

Fingerprints in waiting
Diamonds turn to dust
To quell the demon shadow
What you keeping up your skirt?

A baby breathed inside me
I've grown inside out
Someone to catch these voices
And fireflies, blow them out

The mirror knows how to shame me
Thorns upon my tongue
Backwards played our music
Too late, the setting Sun

She's a princess in a ripped dress
Lost little baby doll
Got an angel for a witness
Lady luck saves us all

Heartstrings turn the pages
Spiders guard the door
As he bangs on the birdcage
And she cried out for more

A baby breathed inside me
I've grown inside out
Someone to catch these voices
And fireflies, blow them out

The stars will reign forever
A guilted ceiling falls
To dance with you beneath them
Our secrets, you told them all

She's a princess in a ripped dress
Lost little baby doll
Got an angel for a witness
Lady luck saves us all

She's a back street pretty baby
Lady look far to fall
Tick tock
