Carson’s Blues

[Verse 1]
A wounded sparrow
Timid and shy
A fallen deer, that's what they call me
But I’m an iron butterfly
A childish liar
A devilish bitch
I can be innocent and charming
And suddenly switch
But you've got to understand, understand, understand
That I've never belonged

[Verse 2]
I can be sweet
I can be wise
And I’ve got every one of you mirrored
In my deep, sad eyes
I know where you've been to
And who you're afraid to be
'Cause nothing that is human
Is alien to me
I talk to strangers, strangers, strangers
One at a time

[Verse 3]
A wounded sparrow
Timid and shy
A fallen deer, that's what they call me
But I'm an iron butterfly
I know where you've been to
And who you're afraid to be
’Cause nothing that is human
Is alien to me
I talk to strangers, strangers, strangers
One at a time
