Dogs & Birds
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
Any wonder
We're all so alone
Mama I feel so ashamed
We're just chemical
I didn't make it
But the bed is my home
And someone told me
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?"
But she don't say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
The writing still on the wall is eligible
The wrong answer etched on my brain
Venus and Mars are now further apart than they've ever been
We better face it
We're just not the same
Then I remember
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?"
But she don't say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
Oh what a shame all the trouble we went through for second place
Now they're selling
Space on the moon
Speaking in tongues we don't know what's been said till the morning comes
You better worry
There's a storm coming soon
Still recalling
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?"
But she don't say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?"
But she don't say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
