Like A Nightingale

I was born like any other
Into a life lived under cover
I was raised like a precious stone
Like a prisoner in a cage called home

There came a time when I got older
But my heart went ever colder
One day they caught me tryin' it out
Shoulda watched my step, coulda cried out loud

I got everything I need but what I need is
 everything
I can do whatever I like but there'll be someone
 joinin' in

They're gonna sing about the lightning
They're gonna sing about the rain
They're gonna sing about the people who live in
 hurt and pain
They're gonna break the glasses, they're gonna
 smash the gates
They're gonna tell you any heart-stopping,
 mind-dropping tale
Like a nightingale

The rules will never be changed
My life won't be rearranged
So I'll take it or I'll snuff it soon
Sit back, admire the silver spoon

I'll be watching out for you, you'll be watching
 out for me
I've got more than you know, I know more than
 you can see

You're gonna sing about the lightning
You're gonna sing about the rain
You're gonna sing about the people who've lived
 in hurt and pain
You're gonna break the glasses, you're gonna
 smash the gates
You're gonna tell me any heart-stopping,
 mind-dropping tale
Like a nightingale

Never known a way around it
Though I know people saying they've found it
No, I can't sit here on my golden butt
Just smile and wait 'till my time is up

I'm going out, I'm going out, I'm going out

They're gonna sing about the lightning
They're gonna sing about the rain
They're gonna sing about the people who live in
 hurt and pain
They're gonna break the glasses, they're gonna
 smash the gates
They're gonna tell you any heart-stopping,
 mind-dropping tale

Like a nightingale, like a nightingale, like a
 nightingale, like a nightingale

I know you've seen me in the nude
Sorry for actin' rude
I know you've seen me in bed
And know everything I ever said
I want to take my chance
Go out and drop my pants
I want to see your heads shake
Take off and fly away

Like a nightingale, like a nightingale, like a
 nightingale, like a nightingale
