Canary - The Other Also[00:00:00]
A canary in a birdcage made a voyage from Taiwan[00:00:08]
On a ship across the ocean to the California sun[00:00:12]
Where it dazzled in the[00:00:16]
Window hanging in the baby's room[00:00:18]
Years of sunlight from the one side scorched[00:00:20]
It's lego yellow plume of chinese thread[00:00:23]
Chinese fabric and thread[00:00:29]
Boy was clearing out his[00:00:39]
Closet leaving home for university[00:00:41]
Threw the bird into the wash[00:00:44]
It lost an eye in that machine[00:00:46]
Bathing in the company of checkered cleaning rags[00:00:48]
The tiny foreign characters[00:00:52]
Printed on the tag had all transformed[00:00:54]
Into a tattered surrender flag[00:01:00]
Down in South Carolina he found a one eyed girl[00:01:10]
Skipping rocks across the[00:01:15]
Water asking where is your bird[00:01:16]
Where is your bird boy[00:01:23]
I ain't your bird[00:01:27]
He was exiting the harbor[00:02:07]
Knuckles dragging on the ground[00:02:09]
When a three leg alligator[00:02:11]
Crept ashore without a sound[00:02:13]
Baring teeth like deadly weapons[00:02:15]
Staring down the one eyed girl[00:02:17]
Screaming kill this misfit animal[00:02:19]
I'll save you from your world of endless doubt[00:02:22]
So he lifted his knuckles from the ground[00:02:28]
Sweeping down from the heavens there was a yellow bird[00:02:38]
Softly landing on his shoulder asking where is your girl[00:02:42]
Where is your girl boy I'm someone's bird[00:02:50]
