Maple Bee Metal Bird lyrics

Like a metal bird, with a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage, one thing's for certain
She will never fly away
Like a metal bird, with an old old heart
Living in a tiny cage, one thing's for certain
She will never fly away

Looking in the glass and she's wondering why?

Wondering all the chances that have passed her by,
Beauty has a price to pay - she will never fly away,
Wondering at the river flooding, flooding down her road
She's soaking wet and freezing to the bone
Warmth has a price to pay - she will never fly away
Wondering at the roses, that have grown so tall
Climbing creepers if she climbs she'll fall - safety has a price to pay,
She will never fly away

Just like a metal bird, with a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage, one thing's for certain
She will never fly away

Like a metal bird, with an old, old heart
Living in a tiny cage, one thing's for certain
She will never fly away

Catch her in the birdsong, as they fly away
Catch on the riverbank, on a summers day
Catch her in a car shine, by the launderette
Running in the soapsuds, she's down the drain again,
Catch a little boat to the other side of the road
Catch a little boat, catch a little boat, catch a little boat
To the other side, gonna sail the sea in the garden,
She will never fly away,
She will never fly away,
She will never fly away

Just like a metal bird, with a cold, cold heart
Living in a tiny cage, one thing's for certain…..
