Broken Bird Songtext
von John Cale

Like a broken rhyme
A broken bird
She senses every thing that′s near her
And nothing in the light of day could see how her happiness faded away

Her happiness faded away with the night
Away with the dawn
As the sea faring galleon
The fish and the heron
Walking stiffly, with the stalker oblivion
Keep me alive in the stars at night
And they shine at you like the way


Broken wing on the bird
A broken wing, he did everything to break
Only reading, reading the wrong signs
And thinking, hell, where's the harm in just saying
Could it be I′m just saying the same thing again?
And, ladies and gentlemen, carry me down to hell

Lend me, lend me your fires
'Cause I'm broken winged
Could be anything
Anything, any day, any time, any year or month
Satisfied, are you satisfied?
Now that you′re satisfied
You done it again
