lyrics

Walking along the dirty street here in the
Snow and the frozen dog pee
Taking it in avoiding the ice when a new little
Friend fluttered down to my feet

Why’s that bird looking at me?
So very expectantly
What’s this bird want from me?

Exchanging a glance with each of his eyes
One at a time but then to my surprise
Now I’m late running for the bus
And the bus driver knows
But he doesn’t seem to mind
No he can’t slow down
Cuz he’s got rules and a hard deadline
No he can’t slow down
Freezing at the stop
There’s nothing much that I can do or say
Freezing at the stop
Oh my I hope there hasn’t been a delay
Why God? Why did you make me this way?

Shivering alone – wait no I’m not alone cuz here comes my little winged feathered friend
“At least I have you,” I say with my hands
In my pockets and peer out into the stinging wind
Are you real?
No, pigeons are spies for the FBI
Am I real? Oh god is anything?

It’s all just a dream, I’m still in bed
Well this is really kinda cold for bed
We can’t know until I wake up
And I don’t think that can come soon enough
