lyrics

The lifeguard wonders what it’s like to drown
He puts the whistle to his lips then drops it down
And the chlorine would stay in your hair
Even when you were asleep
And I would dive into your dreams
All smooth, sleek, and deep
And you would try to hold your breath
Until the edges blurred
Broken bird

The traffic cop is in his car half asleep
Dreaming of the tickets he could give to you to keep
Remember when we drove all night
To St. Sebastian Bay
And froze out there upon the beach
With seagulls and the spray
And when you said you loved me
I didn’t say a word
Broken bird

The pharmacist never asked about the pills
You sold to the high school kids for a thrill
And now stand before the mirror
The bottle in your hand
Wondering why your life never
Turned out as you planned
And maybe it’d be better
If you never had occurred
Broken bird
