Dirk Darmstaedter - Birds, Bugs and Animals Lyrics

10 A.M And A New Day Begins
That Old Morning Sun Covers Up Most Everything
The Backyard, The Dirt And The Cars
The Confusion, The Chaos Of What We Are
The Sounds Outside Are A Hushed Up Waltz
But Silence Speaks Words Neither True Nor False
But It's Just Us That Make Them What They Are
So Stupid, Cruel, Too Close And Too Far
Well I Remember All The Words That You Said
You Said You Believed In A Love That Could Last Way Past Death
So I Ordered Another 2 Drinks
Just To Make Time For Myself, To Think
About Who We Really Are
As We Flick Thru The Pages Of Our Calendars
To Find Just What We Really Need
Is Something That Knows Nothing Bout Ignorance Or Greed

But Now It's Back To The Amusement Park
Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Home In The Dark
And I Guess You've Heard This One Before
You Can't Start Rebuilding Till You've Won The War

Down In The Basement With My New Found Friend
He's Not A Man Of Words But God, He's Heaven Sent
And He'll Listen To The Storys That I've Got To Tell
And He's Not Afraid To Hear The Ones Bout Heaven And Hell
There Are Some Things That I Keep In Boxes Deep Within
Birds, Bugs And Animals That Never Get To See The Sun
Cause You'd All Run Away If I Dragged Them All Out
So I Just Soldier On Like A Good Cub Scout

I Was Told There's A Message In The Smell Of Cut Grass
It's Not Hard To Understand It's Just Thin As Glass
So Just Be Careful Not To Break It Before You Leave
As You Write Down The All The Words On Your Shirtsleeve

But Now It's Back To The Amusement Park
Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Home In The Dark
And I Guess You've Heard This One Before
You Can't Start Rebuilding Till You've Won The War
Till You've Won The War.
