lyrics

While I'm gone please don't worry darling
you know I'll be faithful to you
but you're jumpy and suspicious like a starling
or a blackbird I've heard them called too
they have many other names but all refer to a smallish
bird with iridescent plumage
you can find them in north america most parts of europe
it's a very very common bird

To keep my monogamy with you darling
here's what I will do while I'm gone
I'll find many names for starling
this is a promise you can count on
they have many other names but all refer to a smallish
bird with iridescent plumage
you can see them flying over the library
sometimes just sort of hanging out
underneath a bench eating crackers

It's good to be back with you darling
I've returned from my tour with the band
I've found many names for starling
they're right here on this piece of paper
in my hand
In Connecticut they call them grackles
in Latin it is graculus
in old England they go by jackdaw
now let's have a look at the rest

In Boston it was Stacia, and her hair
it was died bright pink
in Moscow her name it was Olga
and she wanted to learn the guitar I think
it was Jan in New Haven and Trish in New Delhi
and we did it while her boyfriend got ice
In Riga Katarina shared a piece of pricey pizza
with the dude who gave us condoms in the hall
I know I have a problem I never should have said
I would be exclusive with you
come on!
