ELTON JOHN lyrics : "Birds"

There's some things I don't have now
Some things I don't talk about
These things are between myself and I

In my thick skull the joker hides

There's consequences I'm scared to taste

Cold hard truths I can't face
These days are different than the past
Reflections change in the looking glass


And everywhere I look there's something to learn
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn

A hatful of quarters and a naked song
Don't answer the question of where we belong


How come birds
Don't fall from the sky when they die?
How come birds

Always look for a quiet place to hide
These words
Can't explain what I feel inside?

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide

These independent moves I make

This confidence I try to fake
You can hear the beating of my heart
But not a feather falling in the dark


And everything I hear never makes any sense
Another old prophet perched on the fence

A cupful of pencils and a self help guru
Don't answer the question of what I am to you
