I woke up this morning with a heartbeat in my feet Gave my worst hello to every new girl that I meet And I sing back everything every single word And so I float along like a fallen mockingbird All this decency it's getting on my nerves Learning to express myself without four letter words And apathy it chases me to the end of the day Like a fallen mockingbird would have it any other way Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait Last night was one of those I didn't sleep a wink So I wrote a lullaby I'll sing it to my shrink She'll read into everything into every single word Then she'll just look at me like I'm a fallen mockingbird I believe in a Sunday breeze that sends me on my way I believe you can see my breath from at lease a mile away And there's something to be said for accepting the absurd And there's something to be said to a fallen mockingbird Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait Yeah I can't dream at night turn on a reading light and I lie awake But I can't read a word like a fallen mockingbird but I turn each page and I wait
