[Verse 1]
When the little star falls, when the little star falls
The little tin star falls so down
Falls so down
Then it will always be night, it will always be night
With your head full of bright, say all right
[Chorus]
And your heart is a bird, but I missed it there
I was too late, looking for something to wear
Your heart is a bird with the saddest eyes
My wings are fake, but nice try
[Verse 2]
Iβm not so wise
Iβve got an iron lung
Touβve got a silver tongue, Iβm not done
Iβm not done
Come on down, party under the ground
To the little starβs silver sound
[Chorus]
Your heart turned into a bird, but I missed it there
I was too late, looking for something to wear
Heart is a bird with the saddest eyes
My wings are fake, but nice try
