Exotic Birds

from The Cassowary Manifesto by Tyler Kamen

/

lyrics

Verse 1

Birds looking down from an air view,
Swooping down where the rodents stay.
Flying by where the wind blew.
A canary when you really are a cockatoo.
Eyes peering out from a grape vine.
Exotic birds in the twilight sun.
Stretching back line a feline.
Silly robin never shares her fruit with anyone.

Chorus

I don’t care what it says.
The cassowary stays.
I raised him with my thumb.

Verse 2

Here deep inside of the dark wood
Sleeping still where the finches lay.
There are thieves up to no good.
He’s a sinner eating dinner in a rabbit suit.
She, hesitant just to follow,
Featured act of tomorrow’s show,
Says a turtle is too slow.
Toss the towel cause an owl wouldn’t give a hoot.

Chorus

I don’t care what it says.
The cassowary stays.
I raised him with my thumb
and a bucket of whey.
I don’t care what it says.
The cassowary stays.
He’s not just anyone.
Don’t take him away.

Verse 3

Here deep inside of the dark wood
Sleeping still where the finches lay.
There are thieves up to no good.
Stop the robber who will try to steal them anyway.

Chorus

I don’t care what it says.
The cassowary stays.
I raised him with my thumb
and a bucket of whey.
I don’t care what it says.
The cassowary stays.
He’s not just anyone.
Don’t take him away.
