Pretty child your eyelashes Whippin through the rain Wishin' you were waterproofed Wishin' you could prove That pretty place in a little box inside The black streamin down your cheeks Stay out stay back stay black kitty cat black Pushin thirty-five under an answer blanket Pretty child your eyelashes The boy is a bird, the boy is a bird The boy is a bird The boy is always a much prettier bird Than any old girl bird He took his time in the mirror this mornin' Shades of light green, deep blue and just a touch of rouge It's funny how easy it is to lose And all you're left with is chaos and a dirty face Look at me, I'm far from home I'm testing waters with a broken wing I'm weightless Underwater I can fly, underwater I can fly The boy is a bird, the boy is a bird The boy is a bird, The boy is always a much prettier bird Than any old girl bird Just take your time, baby You don't have to be rushin' around Just go on in the bathroom And wash your face, dear, you look puffy
