lyrics

Twelve Tones, they know why words lie
Birds with big wings sure fly high

I stole your shoes and hid them in a tiger's cage
I have your hat. You know it always should have been mine.
Your teeth… MY teeth. Well, people say they like the smile.
Your pets love me. It didn't even take a while.

Like birds afraid of heights. They're still in love with flight.

Twelve Tones, they know why words lie
Birds with big wings sure fly high

If all our thoughts could fit into a paper bag.
We'd tie them tight and make holes so that they can breath.
Lets find a cave and hide them for a thousand years.
Forget the place, but hear the ringing in our ears.

Like birds afraid of heights. We're still in love with flight.

Twelve Tones, they know why words lie
Birds with big wings sure fly high
