Kelly Reckless - Bird On A Wire lyrics

rate me

<br>

he offered them a good ride on<br>

to help them save the family farm<br>

for ergo he was damn near good as rain<br>

<br>

then came the time for them to choose<br>

an offer they could not refuse<br>

with easy-outs and capital gain<br>

<br>

no one has a suspicious feelin<br>

you really couldn't call it stealin'<br>

he did it with a style most would admire<br>

but he had picked 'em off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

he had open fire on a bird on a wire<br>

a nudge a wink and they'd be gettin higher<br>

he whipped out his fountain pen<br>

while the tears were gettin' drier<br>

and then he picked 'em off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

there ain't a kid with a BB gun<br>

or an alley cat with room to run<br>

who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire<br>

yeah, he could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

He went golfing everyday<br>

they voted while he was away<br>

though technically he's chairman of the board<br>

<br>

They had become avaricious<br>

leaving him to do the dishes<br>

they introduced him to his new landlord<br>

<br>

who told him his time came and went<br>

their office in the orient<br>

would send him checks for soon he would retire<br>

yeah, they had picked him off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

they had open fire on the bird on a wire<br>

he was sleeping they were getting higher<br>

they polished up their macintosh while his ass was in the mire<br>

and then they picked him off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

there ain't a kid with a BB gun<br>

or an alley cat with room to run<br>

who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire<br>

Yeah, they could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire<br>

<br>

<br>
