Lyrics (unofficial)

I am a little gilded bird
That calls you from a cage
Singin' 'bout the cats who write
The spirit of the age

Singin' 'bout that hawk-like man
That never could be mine
Oh darling what happened to Steven Valentine?

With hollow cheek and steel gray eye
He clips away my wing
And sent away the audience
Who came to hear me sing

Locked me in his cabinet
With his whiskey and his wine
Whatever happened to Steven Valentine?

Oh my darling
Oh my starling
Oh my darling cut of mine [1:43]
Oh my baby now
Is that what happened to Steven Valentine?

Valentine will have his day
But god he ain't no saint
Passing my song for evermore
Although my voice grows faint

For the eagle in his eyrie
And the owl upon the pain
Ask them what happened to Steven Valentine
Ask them what happened to Steven Valentine
Ask them
Steven Valentine
