Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a (1)________ on the wire,
Like a (2)__________ in a (3)________________ choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a (4)____________ (5)________ (6)________ old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I (7)________ (8)________ unkind,
I (9)________ that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have (10)________ untrue
I hope you (11)________ it was (12)__________ to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I (13)________ (14)________ everyone who reached out for me.
But I (15)__________ by (16)________ song
And by all (17)________ I (18)________ done wrong
I will (19)________ it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He (20)________ to me, "You (21)________ not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her (22)________________ door,
She (23)__________ to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a (24)________ on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have (25)__________ in my way to be free.
