Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a (1)________ on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I (2)________ tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight (3)________ some old fashioned book
I have (4)__________ all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have (5)________ unkind,
I hope (6)________ you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have (7)________ untrue
I hope you know it was (8)__________ to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have (9)________ everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by (10)________ song
And by all that I (11)________ done wrong
I (12)________ (13)________ it all up to thee.
I saw a (14)____________ leaning on his (15)____________ crutch,
He (16)________ to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She (17)__________ to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh (18)________ a bird on the wire,
Like a (19)__________ in a (20)________________ choir
I have (21)__________ in my way to be free.
