Canary In A Coalmine Lyrics

Canary In A Coalmine lyrics

Well I'm starting to be free of this.If I would have died would thathave made
the rest better?A canary in a coal miner's cage,the last one to go not yet a
red letter day.Last night I fell asleep to air.In the morning I'll wake upto my
lungs filled with clutter.Will I ever breathe again?Run, run take cover.The
walls in this houseare caving in like sleep paralysis.Black out!Now I swim out
to the ocean crest,I stretch my hand out to deliver a letter.A paranoid poets
distress.Past a few weird trees and mist.A voice beckons to be frombetween the
bed and the covers.Canaries telling fables of men.Like so many poets who fellin
love with the bottle.If the bird went first then I'm gone too.And all of my
friends arepouring liquor on my grave.Tipping their hats and their bottles,and
walking off.In a few short hours they'll be here too.
