[Verse 1]
I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed, now I don't believe a word
I can see that mocking bird
I know he'll never leave though his taunts can't hurt
[Chorus]
When he flies, he's singing lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
[Verse 2]
He will never leave my side
Brave though he is, I know the countless times he tried
He will meet my fear and pride
I know he'll never leave and I cannot hide
[Chorus]
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
[Verse 3]
I can see that bird of shame
I won't be ruled by anger and I won't play the game
I can see that bird of shame
I'm stronger than that now, I won't bear the blame
[Chorus]
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
[Verse 4]
I can see that mocking bird
For years he has followed, now he's seen but never heard
I can see that mocking bird
I know he's there behind and his taunts can't hurt
[Chorus]
But when he flies, he's singin' lies
And when he files, he's singin' lies
In his bird disguise, he's singin' lies
He'll make you cry by singin' lies
