The Tiger Lillies - The Bird lyrics

When that bird sings in the sky It's your mother who cries That bird watches and sings That magic bird luck will you bring So here only hatred you know With greasy perverts sink so low Only d** and on the game Each moment you feel shame Though all around wished you harm That bird is your good luck charm And as you sit beside her grave Your life now so depraved The pain of loss, ladies and gentlemen. The endless hours of suffering, mourning the one good thing in my life. Sure, my mother may have been a who*e. But she wanted something better for her daughter. She had dreams of me being a checkout receptionist in a hotel. Or a shop a**istant in a chemist's. But now, there's only the ache of loss. So I go and sit by her grave, with only that bird as company. And I cry me a river. And sometimes that bird sings. I think, maybe she's my mama. Re-incarcerated, boys and girls! Because, even though they say I'm a filthy crack who*e, I have a spiritual side. And I was talking to one of the girls on the street. And we were talking about re-incarceration. Foxings told me she didn't believe in d**h. Life just carries on in different forms. So who knows, ladies and gentlemen? Maybe this bird is my mother, re-incarcerated! Your life wasted on your back Your only joy now is crack Well up in Heaven she does wait So never let your heart break An angel disguised as a bird Will listen to her every word So Sinderella's heart won't break Happiness in Heaven waits The bird that sings from up above She's the one who does you love Well, when this life has been consumed A crack who*e you feel doomed I don't know what it all means, ladies and gentlemen. Do we go to Heaven? Fall into the flames of Hell? Or are we all re-incarcerated? I don't know, boys and girls. But I do know something. It all means jack sh** when you're in pain This world is cruel, this world is bad In Crackwho*e Hell, life is sad The bird that sings from up above She's the one who does you love Then down that bird, that bird will fly Take you to Heaven in the sky Sinderella, crack who*e Your mother you does adore When that bird sings in the sky It's your mother who cries
