Two birds on a wire
            One tries to fly away
        And the other
          Watches him close
          From that wire
                    He says he wants to as well
       But he is a liar

              I'll believe it all
                There's nothing I won't understand
              I'll believe it all
               I won't let go of your hand

           Two birds on a wire
      One [bad word] on
And the other says
I'm tired
         The sky is overcast
         And I'm silent
              One more or one less
    Nobody's worried

              I'll believe it all
                      There's nothing I won't understand
              I'll believe it all
               I won't let go of your hand

           Two birds of a feather
              Say that they're always
       Gonna stay together
               But one's never goin' to
             Let go of that wire
             He says that he will
           But he's just a liar

           Two birds on a wire
            One tries to fly away
        And the other
          Watches him close
          From that wire
                    He says he wants to as well
       But he is a liar

           Two birds on a wire
            One tries to fly away
         And the other
