do ya still talk to your birds?
do ya chirp a little on every word?
do ya call them by their christian names?
and ask 'em why they play the games that they play?
i wonder what they would say
about the games that we play
i told ya you could go or you could stay
and it wouldn't matter either way
you were wise not to call my bluff
just lay down your cards and pack up your stuff
you hadn't had enough
you'd had too much
now i've been awake
for something like twenty-eight days
with a couple of new friends
who fuck me up all night just to take me to bed
it makes a body feel young
to be so far out of love
but i bet you still sing in the shower
while somebody reads on the couch
and getting dressed still takes you two hours
while somebody paces the house
but do ya still talk to your birds?
do ya tell them funny stories you've heard?
do you ever mention my name
to ask 'em how someone could leave as quick as they came?
and what do they have to say about the games that we play?
i wonder what they would say about the games that we play
