I'm your only friend- I'm not your only friend
                
But I'm a little glowing friend
                                                
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am

                                   
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
           
Who watches over you
                          
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
                                
Not to put too fine a point on it
                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
                           
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

                              
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
                                         
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
                                       
So the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
                                       
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e

       +5
My storys infinite
              +5          
Like the longines symphonette it doesn't rest

                                   
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
           
Who watches over you
                          
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
                                
Not to put too fine a point on it
                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
                           
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

G                         [CAPO CHANGE 3]          
I'm your only friend- I'm not your only friend
                           
But I'm a little glowing friend
                               
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am

                                          
Theres a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
                                            
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
                                          
Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
                                           
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

         +
Bluebird of friendliness
          +       
Like guardian angels its always near

                                   
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
           
Who watches over you
                          
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
                                
Not to put too fine a point on it
                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
                           
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
                                     
While youre at it, keep the nightlight on inside 
                    
the birdhouse in your soul
                                
Not to put too fine a point on it
                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
                          
Make a little birdhouse in your 
                                   
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
           
Who watches over you
                          
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
                                
Not to put too fine a point on it
                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
                           
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
