Lyrics

All the pretty birds that were never heard
One flew away one desolate day
Another was stolen, one wasted away
As far as I can see, they will not be returning

All the fancy girls in this crowded world
Every note they sing, relinquished to a dream

All the pretty birds that were never heard
As far as I can see, they will not be returning

One caught on fire and one slipped away
One was desired, one was afraid
One was distracted, one was relieved
One was misguided, one was deceived
One was disturbing, one was unloved
Stupid, distracted, mentally undone
Aching and battered and bitter and fried
Itching and fuming and cracking inside

Go ask them why

All the pretty birds
