Like Unto a Mockingbird

Lyrics
All around somebody else's pad You stumble as you chase the latest fad Don't look confused with all the things you find Just wait until the crowd makes up your mind Coming back repeating every word Repeating all the things you overheard The bandwagons rumble past I sit here on the curb And like an echo, you are like unto a mockingbird As long as you can sing their style of song You won't be lonely you can tag along Pasted on your face a sickly grin Hoping that someone will say you're in Dark eyes shifting round take in a lot Noting who is here and then who's not Careful that you keep your standing clear Away from those with whom you can't be seen Coming back repeating every word Repeating all the things you overheard The bandwagons rumble past I sit here on the curb And like an echo, you are like unto a mockingbird Here lately you don't speak or even look Because my name's not written in their book But if they turn my different ways to see You'd be the first to proudly stand by me Coming back repeating every word Repeating all the things you overheard The bandwagons rumble past I sit here on the curb And like an echo, you are like unto a mockingbird
