Ever seen a canary Let out of its cage? Watch it fly around in circles See it come back again Experience hurts you So much more than I can But pain isn't virtue And it won't make you a man Yeah, innocence ain't perfect You can't eat from its hand Well, it ain't perfect You can't eat from its hand Ooh, oh Ooh, oh She cried for the meek But he won't pick up There's no answer 'til You find yourself one She said she Would adore her son But she'd give it all up For a one true love And it's so It's so easy It's easy as I As I can bare to find To find #POST-CHORUS It's a blessing and a curse to be loved like this If I give up first, would I miss life's kiss? It's hard balled-up first I know that you're weary Time's made you afraid We go around in circles It's just stories we play out The serpent still haunts you You still miss our lambs The serpent still haunts you And you still miss our lambs Ooh, oh Ooh, oh
