Pink parakeet - Stan Ridgway



Your pink parakeet still waits for you to free her

So I've kept this cage closed tightly when I feed her

Your room is locked up solid and the key's here 'round my neck

Your soul and property I still protect



No this world won't understand you or accept you

You'll need someone just like me to hold the wolves at bay

I love you like a sculptor loves his chistle and his stone

How can you go with all the love I've shown





I've invested many precious hours of training

Your poise, your grace, your youthful face is fading

And without me you will falter, and confuse and soon go blind

I know what scares you there inside your mind





Now without you to advise I'm feeling weaker

This game's no fun to play without a teacher

And without my guide and councel you will surely die alone

I demand you back, look at the love I've shown





Now I've never been unfaithful 'til this moment

You've made me now investigate my life

My scars and stitches shown, I've been stripped now to the bone

Look what you've done with all the love I've shown





Now what word, maybe somewhere will finally trip you?

How cool of you to do this thing to me

And I know you'll always fail, I always did

But I hold no grudge or groan

How could I now, with all the love I've shown

With all the love I've shown
