I left a man asleep in the nude
Paint in my pocket, lipstick and rouge
Everything I ever wanted,
What a lovely pie you baked, is anybody listening?
Don't the painted birds ever fly away

It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away

The walls have been talking about me again
I'm good for a joke, but when I awoke, the dream didn't end
Now everytime I turn around
I'm only sleeping, John, is anybody out there?
Don't the wounded birds still sing?

It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away
