when i travel to another country
i wonder if the birds know i'm foreign
and that's why they won't speak to me
but then i remember birds are french
so that's why they won't speak to me
not that they can't but even back home
they just love to sing and fuck so much
you have to sing and fuck with them
or listen as they sing as you go to work
to afford one room in nashville
