Birdhouse In Your Soul
They Might Be Giants · A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants [2005]
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
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
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
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

But I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
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 nests, always near
