Elton John - Birds lyrics

There's some things I don't have now<br>Some things I don't talk about<br>These things are between myself and i<br>In my thick skull the joker hides<br><br>There's consequences I'm scared to taste<br>Cold hard truths I can't face<br>These days are different than the past<br>Reflections change in the looking glass<br><br>And everywhere I look there's something to learn<br>A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn<br>A hatful of quarters and a naked song<br>Don't answer the question of where we belong<br><br>How come birds<br>Don't fall from the sky when they die? <br>How come birds<br>Always look for a quiet place to hide<br>These words<br>Can't explain what I feel inside? <br>Like birds I need a quiet place to hide<br><br>These independent moves I make<br>This confidence I try to fake<br>You can hear the beating of my heart<br>But not a feather falling in the dark<br><br>And everything I hear never makes any sense<br>Another old prophet perched on the fence<br>A cupful of pencils and a self help guru<br>Don't answer the question of what I am to you
