Watching Birds

Oh well her eyes they hypnotized Like a pair of headlights And I remember how she crashed Headlong into my life So I said now close those eyes Stick a pin into this map And then she said now look around Because there'll be no looking back Oh but I've been looking since that day Since the day we parted But you don't find happiness When you're searching for it And I might have realized I was wasting precious time But I never had the chance To change the batteries in my watch Oh and it's a Monday night in June And I should be sleeping But it's so damn warm inside I'm in the garden dreaming And I've got one chair for myself And another for my feet But I still don't feel complete Well she calls me every day Just to touch base with me And the birds upon the wire They feel the electricity And I watch them as they fly And she lifts me up with them Until I fall for her again Oh and I've been working since that day Since the day I left her I'm making money watching birds But I don't feel no richer And I should have realized I was wasting precious time But I never had the chance To change the batteries in my watch Oh and it's a Monday night in June And I should be sleeping But it's so damn warm inside I'm in the garden dreaming And I've got one chair for myself And another for my feet But I still don't feel complete
