Booze Bird

Drunken Defiance · Romantic Conflict · Swaggering Power Pop
#CHORUS
Baby, I’m a booze bird
Don’t you forget
Been a silly singing booze bird
Since the day we met
How can you think it’s fair
For you to get upset
This booze bird
Will never be your pet
#VERSE
There’s a nest near the clouds
In the mountain’s chiseled peaks
Filled with gin, whiskey, rum
And Amaretto so sweet
But no fledglings in that nest
That’s not the way I fly
This booze bird only wants you
In my piece of the sky
#PRE-CHORUS
So, come up, have a drink
Ruffle our romantic link
‘Cause…
#CHORUS
Baby, I’m a booze bird
I get my whistle wet
Love to be insanely buzzed
And fly high to race those private jets
Then I swoop down in a freefall
Watch my full-speed silhouette
But this booze bird
Will never be your pet
#BRIDGE
Love’s a good thing
Sex—even better
So warm in my nest
It’s all about your pleasure
I’ve been hoping we’d be
Dare I say—birds of a feather
But you love babies more than booze
And you want me on a tether
#INSTRUMENTAL
#BRIDGE
I see the sad horizons
Smiles I know this choice will cost me
I’ll stay on this migration path
But damn, you almost caught me
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
The rum shots I was slamming
Just as you flew in
Were the afterburners
For my whiskey and gin
See, I drink all damn day
I won’t accept it as sin
And I won’t accept anyone
Who throws a new rulebook in
#CHORUS
Baby, I’m a booze bird
Ready for a cigarette
A drunk, skunk-juggling booze bird
Who sees love as a threat
I shiver on these chiseled peaks
Weigh the winds of my regrets
How could this booze bird
Ever be your pet?
#PRE-CHORUS
So, come up, have a drink
But no talk of blue and pink
‘Cause…
#CHORUS
Baby, I’m a booze bird
I get my whistle wet
Know who I am
And I haven’t changed yet
Is it possible that someday
I’d be your chirpy pet
Not a chance
And I’ll have no regrets
#OUTRO
Not a chance
And I’ll have no regrets
This booze bird
Will never be your pet
