Pigeon on the Wire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Is that a pigeon? On the fire escape? Chest puffed out Like it owns the place Gray little blazer Side-eye stare One tiny nod Like it’s aware [Pre-Chorus] I blink, you blink Then you strut Peck-peck rhythm Nose in the dust [Chorus] Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Walking like a king Under my window Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Tap-tap, coo-coo And it steals my crumbs [Verse 2] It eyes my sandwich Like it’s fair game One quick wing flare Then it’s gone again Paper cup army On the curbside line But that bold gray bird Keeps its own time [Pre-Chorus] I step back slow You step in close Little round eyes Say what you know [Chorus] Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Walking like a king Under my window Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Tap-tap, coo-coo And it steals my crumbs [Bridge] Small gray rebel Big front You act so tough Then you bounce One more crumb And you’re back Same little grin On the same old track [Final Chorus] Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Walking like a king Under my window Is that a pigeon? (is that a pigeon?) Yeah, that’s my pigeon (that’s my pigeon) Tap-tap, coo-coo And it steals my crumbs
