Bird's Eye View Lyrics - Brendan Benson

This is only a bird's eye view 

Of how I see things between me and you 

And everyone in between 

It's just how it seems to be 

You can't escape the jails 

Or the crucifier's nails 

So just have a seat 

Breathe slowly and deeply 

Repeat after me I'm sorry 

The TV's always on 

And if you press your ear to the wall 

You can hear, you can hear 

The tears hit the floor 

You can see right through to the core 

If you just wear these special glasses 

I've got a theory about the man and his wife 

And how the other half dies 

And what really goes on when they're all alone
