Red Hot Chili Peppers - Magpies On Fire

 

Magpies on fire
Making love like little wolves
Out on the porch
Can lead to medicine
Oh well I?m game
For anything at all

Scare crow?s a liar
Spins a yarn and no one
Ever checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon
Now it?s time to fall

All along
It?s like a bird
Who?s trapped alone
Inside your cage, love

What more do you want
How much more can you take
I love my mistakes
I?ve been here before

All and all
It?s just the call
Of something wild
Beyond your room

There?s a changing
Of the major chord
Your minor threat
Will do love

My gun misfired
Shot myself instead
I guess I always knew
I?d be the one to lose
That screen door slams
Time to make a move

A bird who?s born
To live at half your age, girl
A bird who?s
Never really had a say

Least of all
She?s like a bird
Who?s now been freed
From someone?s cage
