Lyrics - Parakeet by R.e.m.

you wake up in the morningand fall out of your bedmean cat eat parakeetsand this one's nearly dead.you dearly wish the wind shiftand greasy windows slideopen for the parakeetwho's colored bitter lime.open the windowand lift into your dreamslately, babyyou can barely breathe.a broken wristan accidentyou know that something's wrongyou fold the leavings of your past no one lnows you've gone.the sunspot flares of the earlynineties light up your wings.and scan the shortwave radioit's tracking outer rings.the tectonic dispatcher shiftsto smooth the ocean floorand flattens out to warmer windsof
Brisbane's sunny shore.where buddhas tend to mending wristsa tea made from the leavesof eucalyptus fragrancesand coriander seeds.you wake up in the morningto warm
Pacific breezewhere mean cars chew on licoriceand cannot climb the trees.open your windowand lift inte a dreambaby, babybaby starts to breathe
