Phish - Birds Of A Feather lyrics

It's easy sometimes when you just coast along<br>But like it or not something always seems to go wrong<br>Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down<br>Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around<br><br>Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea<br>Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile<br>Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be<br>Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile<br><br>Birds of a feather are flocking outside<br>Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance<br>Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants<br>Of ritual drumming although at first glance<br>You thought you could run but you won't take a chance<br><br>It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along<br>They hang on emotions they bottle inside<br>They peck at the ground<br>And strut out of stride
