There once was a girl who lived in a fairy taleA prince came along and gave her a golden veilHe said you're a bird of painted glassAnd he took her in his graspHe brings the rain downHe took her awayCarried her off in the nightBuilt her a cage to keep her from taking flightAnd when she tried to ask him whyStorm clouds seemed to fill his eyesHe brings the rain downLook at us nowI've been wondering how you can live with yourselfdon't you see that your nightingale' s bleedingShe took all of your rage and she's broken the cageand she's leavingWe're birds made out of broken glassWe glitter while the daylight lastsHe brings the rain down
