Canary
In A Coal Mine
Written by Sting
From the album: Zenyatta Mondatta
First to fall over
when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest
defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight
line
You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight
line
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight
line
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
First to fall over when the atmosphere is less
than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest
defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight
line
