Here they come the smothering dimensions Come the usual low expectations Talk talking about the amounts you drink Perversly amused watching the world sink Got your number got your address got you A way of knowing what is always for the best If I could make you happy I would stay put If I make you miserable I shut up Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery They are your friends but this is more true: lose Them before their peace invades and kills you Go to where you know you're basically loved Go to where you're allowed to rise above Been a while since anyone came around They only come when they are equally low After all you never were one who says no A streak they despise when they're on terms with life Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Everybody's got that loving feeling But most need a forenisic to find it With friends like that who needs swimming lessons Pockets full of rocks and life guard absent You're the anecdote the pun and the joke One who makes them feel fit to reproduce Yes boss not on the list receptionist No I have not done it yet no on it Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery Birds are singing deep within the greenery
