Katie locked herself inside her room
Put on a dress and sprayed perfume
But she's not going out tonight
No no
She lit a cigarette and poured a drink
Then Katie say down more to think
About her life
Then she turned on the radio
I hope to god that
You take really good care off my pet bird
He's the only one that cared
Katie wrote a note and kissed the page
Put some bird seed in Polly's cage
Then she closed the window
And let out a sigh
She cut light and sat down on the floor
Took down her hair and thought some more
Then she whispered to her bird
"Goodbye"
I I I
I hope to God
That you take really good care
Of my pet bird
Cause he's the one
That caredWhen the chips arrived there in the room
The sight they saw
Was full of gloom
They took the gun from Katie's hand
And covered her head
They found a note
With a lipstick stain
And on that page
Written real plain
Was a single line
In dark blue ink
From a ballpoint pen
That said
I hope to God
That you take
Really good care of my pet bird
Cause he's the only one
That cared
