Birdhouse in Your Soul

I'm your only friend/I'm not your only friend/But I'm a little glowing friend/But really I'm not actually your friend/But I am. I feel productive! I ended up staying around the house this week. I got a lot done in the yard and made some long overdo repairs. It was a beautiful weekend, but I didn't feel like going out of town by myself. My parents came over, too, and helped some. I need to invite family over more (not just for help, though!).

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch/Who watches over you/Make a little birdhouse in your soul/Not to put too fine a point on it/Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet/Make a little birdhouse in your soul. Only They Might Be Giants could write a catchy little song about a nightlight. Yep, "Birdhouse in Your Soul" is about a nightlight. There's a picture opposite me/Of my primitive ancestry/Which stood on rocky shores/And kept the beaches shipwreck-free/Though I respect that a lot/I'd be fired if that were my job/After killing Jason off/And countless screaming Argonauts/Bluebird of friendliness/Like guardian angels it's/Always near. Just so damn clever.
