Sneaky double track for y'all

lyrics

today i saw a sparrow in the mall
its nest up in the rafters and its food upon the floor
its pearl-grey plumage ruffles as it darts about the hall
i wish i were that sparrow in the mall
i wish i were that sparrow in the mall

today i saw a girl out on the street
nodding greeting everyone whos path in which she strayed
she seemed the kind of person that id like to meet
i wish i knew that gal upon the street
i wish i knew that gal upon the street

today i saw an image in the glass
walking down the path a knotted frown upon its brow
to be brutally honest it seemed a bit of an ass
wish id never seen that image in the glass
wish id never spotted that damn image in the glass

almost makes me forget
the good shit i have seen
makes me zone right in on
all the negativity

feel like im punching myself outta here again
feel like im punching myself
right outta here

today i saw a sparrow in the mall
its nest up in the rafters and its food upon the floor
its pearl grey plumage ruffled as it darts about the hall
i wish i were that sparrow in the mall
i wish i were that sparrow in the mall

but i can't stop thinking bout that image in the glass
wish i were that sparrow in the mall
if not for that image in the glass
can't stop thinking bout that sparrow neath the glass

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So hang me gently on the line
i think we both know that its time
that you put me out to dry
washed and bleached but still scented faintly of red wine
