She's in the balcony, yeah
She's got the bird's eye view
Just say the word, mockingbird
We are waiting for you
The message in your bottle
Is getting stirred in the soup
It's floating down on the bottom
Just bait for your spoon
Come get us hammered to the strings of a Steinway
All of us gathered in the blink of an eye or two
Nothing else matters in the midst of a crime wave
As the crow flies, yeah, we are waiting for you
He's in the rafters up there
He's got the birds eye view
Just do your work, city worm, he's just waiting for you
This massacre won't disturb you half as much as the soup
Just say the word, mockingbird, we are waiting for you
Come, let's get plastered in the princess's doorway
All of us turn into the shadows of a statue
Echoing rafters in the wings of a causeway
As the caged birds coo, we are waiting for you
We are waiting for you
We are waiting for you
Can I close my eyes in the back of my head?
Could I fly knowing I wouldn't be him?
We are waiting for you
We are waiting for you
