Intro:
I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little
glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -
- - -
Chorus:
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you?
/ / make a little birdhouse in your soul
not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
/ / make a little birdhouse in your soul
1. |: I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
/ :| it's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
so the room must listen to me - filibuster vigilantly my name is blue canary - one note spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite like the Longines Symphonette
it doesn't rest
(Chorus)
Instrumental/Bridge: |: :|
I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little
glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -
2. There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job after killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness - like guardian angels it's always near
Chorus (1):
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you?
/ / make a little birdhouse in your soul
not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
/ / make a little birdhouse in your soul
Chorus (2):
And while you're at it - leave the night light on inside
/ / the birdhouse in your soul
not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet make a little birdhouse in your soul
Chorus (both parts): Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch And while you're at it, who watches over you? leave the night light on inside make a little birdhouse in your soul the birdhouse in your soul
not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet make a little birdhouse in your soul
