Eels Mockingbird Franklin Lyrics

Mockingbird Franklin Lyrics

she`s never known acceptance
she`s never known the world
she says i like to call myself M
but my real name is mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
so how do you do
Mockingbird Franklin
i`m a lot like you

she says her mother is gone now
she says her mother got killed
i said i`m sorry but is it true
did she really name you Mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
broke your heart in two
Mockingbird Franklin
i`m a lot like you

Mockingbird don`t you change
just because you`re not like them
oh Mockingbird you`re not the same

alone along the sidewalk
her steps are barely heard
it`s kinda funny that it`s her name
`cus she`s nothing like a mockingbird
nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
don`t it get to you
Mockingbird Franklin
i`m a lot like you
i`m a lot like you
it`s true
