Lyrics:
Let me outta here
Get me outta here
I went along alright at first
But now it's all too clear
You wanna keep me bottled up
Like a stolen souvenire
Let me outta here
Get me outta here.
Eyes are everywhere
Eyes are everywhere
They're watching every move I make
They think I'm unaware
No matter where I run or hide
I'm followed by their stare
Eyes are everywhere
They think I'm unaware.
My mind is getting hazy
Everybody thinks I'm crazy.
Won't let em get to me
No I won't em get to me.
Walls are closing in
Walls are closing in
My mind is playing tricks on me
It's a good thing I'm paper thin
The window's crashing towards me now
I can feel em scratch my skin
Walls are closing in
It's a good thing I'm paper thin.
My mind is getting hazy
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
Won't let em get to me
No I won't let em get to me.
Cuz I'm a Birdman
Ya I'm a Birdman
Ya I'm a Birdman
Ya I'm a Birdman
Ya I'm a Birdman
Oh I'm a Birdman
B-B-B-Birdman.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
