Missing Words

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do want to mess
me up?
you want to screw the
works?
you want to blow my book sales
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants get out
but I'm too clever, I only let out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep,
you?
