Cover Song: "Birdhouse In Your Soul" (Patreon)

The cover album is actually taking shape. There will be a lot of tweaking, a bunch of stuff you may not remember or may not have even known existed, and a number of songs I can't believe we don't all listen to all the time. Like this one.

I'm your only friendI'm not your only friendBut I'm a little glowing friendBut really I'm not actually your friendBut I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switchWho watches over youMake a little birdhouse in your soulNot to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tellFrom my electrical wellIt's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bellsSo the room must listen to meFilibuster vigilantlyMy name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-eMy story's infiniteLike the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switchWho watches over youMake a little birdhouse in your soulNot to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friendI'm not your only friendBut I'm a little glowing friendBut really I'm not actually your friendBut I am

There's a picture opposite meOf my primitive ancestryWhich stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck freeThough I respect that a lotI'd be fired if that were my jobAfter killing Jason off and countless screaming ArgonautsBluebird of friendlinessLike guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switchWho watches over youMake a little birdhouse in your soulNot to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul

(And while you're at itKeep the nightlight on inside theBirdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on itSay I'm the only bee in your bonnetMake a little birdhouse in your soul
