Out of the Birdcage

Toss out my heart like an old paper cup
And you wonder where I get these
Saturday morning and I’m on my way up
Tomorrow everybody will know
That last night I didn’t take no guff
I tilted back the bottle 'til I had enough
And then went and had a little bit more
Landed on my best friend’s floor
I’m packing up and moving out
And ready for a goddamn fight
'Cause you’re wrong and I’m right
I’m out of the birdcage tonight
Dash all my hopes in the blink of an eye
And you ask me why I get so down
My heart is heavy though I’m saying goodbye
Tomorrow I may not be around
So last night I didn’t take no guff
I tilted back the bottle 'til I had enough
And then went and had a little bit more
Landed on my best friend’s floor
I’m packing up and moving out
And ready for a goddamn fight
'Cause you’re wrong and I’m right
I’m out of the birdcage tonight
I saw your cousin at the old Midway Café
Standing on a stool a-swingin' 'round his shirt
circle drinking beer
Tomorrow morning I’ll be fessin' up
But last night I didn’t take no guff
I tilted back the bottle 'til I had enough
And then went and had a little bit more
Landed on my best friend’s floor
I’m packing up and moving out
And ready for a goddamn fight
'Cause you’re wrong and I’m right
I’m out of the birdcage tonight
Lord, I’m out of the birdcage tonight
Lord, I’m out of the birdcage tonight
