They Might Be Giants Lyrics
"Birdhouse In Your Soul"

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
The room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled "l-i-t-e"
My story's infinite like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness, like guardian angels nests, always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it, keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
