Birds (On A Day Like Today)

and oh
how come i don't awake to the sun no more
when pixelated jackles say "when it rains, it pours?"
my stubborn curiosity will lead me right off course
and i guess its why marky ran away
to a sunnier LA
he found his brain in an apartment in Chinatown

so come on we can get
oh, so nervous and its a baby girl
thats why ive created this world
where you can come and find me when (come find me when)
you're just so bored of the shameless pay
from working the department
i know you're tired
but im complacent
lets pace around in our apartment
cause oh
when i rest my head i feel the fear of falling
and in my own town i trip to a far off land
thats the way

so forgive me for my lack of words
announcing adjectives are slowly pulling down my spine
and it seems each of them can't find a way to make any sense of it
just like me
and repeatedly the paper man says that its all wrong
and all i got are sedatives in these damn songs
but i grew up on them superstitions
probable cause for my lack of ambition at all

when i rest my head i feel the fear of falling
and in my own town i trip to a far off land
cause thats the way that it works on a day like today
gotta get out
gotta get out today
