Eyes to take you dancing,   Mouth to leave your wife,   Legs to run away with, and you wonder why   Heart that makes you bypass every other girl   Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world      And like the blackbird on the wire   I will not take prey on you,   You wouldn't want me to   For I'm too soft for such a thing   And like the blackbird on the wire   I just watch you by   The tears I knew I'd cry   Fall unnoticed down below.      Front to make you happy   Back to make you weep   Lips to keep you kissing   Whilst everyone's asleep   Tears to break a backbone   Laughs to win a war   And people come and ask me what I love you for      But like the blackbird on the wire   I will not take prey on you,   You wouldn't want me to   For I'm too soft for such a thing   And like the Blackbird on the wire   I just watch you by   The tears I knew I'd cry   Fall unnoticed down below      And with a tongue built from quick silver   And a character of steel   They actually come and ask me how I feel      And like the blackbird on the wire   I will not take prey on you,   You wouldn't want me to   For I'm too soft for such a thing   And like the blackbird on the wire   I just watch you by   The tears I knew I'd cry   Fall unnoticed down below,   down below,   down below,   down below.
