Pretty Little Birds

Original

You are but a phoenix among feathers

You're broken by the waves among the sea

And they'll let you die, they'll let you wash away

But you swim as well as you fly

Pretty little bird

Pretty little bird

You've hit the window a few times (the window a few times)

You pretty little bird

Pretty little bird

You still ain't scared of no heights

When the spiral down feels as good as the flight up

When hating you feels good for the night

When the morning comes I hope you're still mine

When the morning comes

If the morning comes

When the morning comes

If the morning comes (when the morning comes I hope you're still mine)

When the morning comes

If the morning comes

Told you I like gentle giants so you softened up

And you been jack'n, bean'n, stalk'n just to get to me love

I wanna be your golden goose

I wanna shave my legs for you

I wanna take all of my hair down and let you lay in it

Spread all of my limbs out and let you lay in it

Pretty little birds

Pretty little birds

Do you mean every word you mean, every word? (Do you mean?)

Pretty little girls

Pretty little girls (pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty)

We hit the window a few times (the wall, the wall)

I can't stay

But I would lay

But I would

I would

Lately I feel like I'm robbin' myself

Like I'm robbin' mines

Diamond cerebral peek into your cortex

Be faithful and free and just play in your vortex

I see you 'Lana you fly by the pound (pound)

Fly by the ounce (ounce)

Fly to the south

Don't mind them bitches that's cleanin' my house

Lord, you can see, Lord

You see them heights that niggas can't afford

I see them lights that you made for that shit

Fuck all that playin', you pay for that shit

But my wings don't spread like they used to

But I wanna fly with you

'Til we hit the heavens

My wings don't spread like they used to

But I wanna fly with you

'Til we hit the heavens

'Til we hit the heavens
