Pink Parakeet Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Pink Parakeet Lyrics

    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
