It's a story old as time
Write a line that doesn't rhyme
And resign to being nothing more than adequate
Snap your feelings to the grid
Man they'll never know you did
You were flying now you're
Vying for a fix for it
Giving life to a seed of doubt
That the fire in your hearth is out
Hey little Hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life, there's still life in you?
Hey little Hummingbird won't you hum me a line?
Sing that ancient tune
Throw that feeling to the wind
Push your head under the sand
Did you really think
You're any more than adequate?
Drink the pickle that you're in
Turn your frown into a grin
Push your insides out
Was that the plan for getting it?
Diving headfirst into clout
But the ends are both shallow now
Hey little Hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life, there's still life in you?
Hey little Hummingbird won't you hum me a line?
Sing that ancient tune
Hummingbird, say the word
And I can pull the plug on you
Hummingbird, say the word
I could pull the rug from under you
If i wasn't so dug far into you
Hey little Hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life, there's still life in you?
Hey little Hummingbird won't you hum me a line?
Sing that ancient tune
