I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed
Now I don't believe a word
I can see that mocking bird
I know he'll never leave
Though his taunts can't hurt
When he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies...
He will never leave my side
Brave though he is
I know the countless times He tried
He will meet my fear and pride
I know he'll never leave
And I cannot hide
But when he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies...
I can see that bird of shame
I won't be ruled by anger
And I won't play the game
I can see that bird of shame
I'm stronger than that now
I won't bear the blame
But when he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies...
I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed
Now he's seen, but never heard
I can see that mocking bird
I know he's there behind
And his taunts can't hurt
But when he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies...
In his bird disguise, he's singing lies
He'll make you fly, by singin' lies...
