[Verse 1] Morning on the bench Crumbs in your coat One eye on the fries One eye on the road You strut like you own The whole square block Pecking at a map Made of gum and rocks [Pre-Chorus] Everybody rushes past You stay where you are Little gray king With a busted little crown [Chorus] Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench You never ask permission You just land and glance Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench Tiny street prophet With a dirty little dance [Verse 2] Old man waves hello You do not flinch A kid drops a pretzel You make it a feast Rain taps your back You keep your cool Like the whole wide world Was built for one bird [Pre-Chorus] Everybody chases more You wait for the crumbs Little gray king With a busted little crown [Chorus] Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench You never ask permission You just land and glance Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench Tiny street prophet With a dirty little dance [Bridge] When the morning breaks You are still there Sideways and proud In the open air No golden cage No polished floor Just a small brave heart At the station door [Final Chorus] Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench You never ask permission You just land and glance Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench Tiny street prophet With a dirty little dance Pigeon on the bench Pigeon on the bench Yeah, you make a kingdom Out of leftovers and chance
