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 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

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

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
