There's some things I don't have now
Some things I don't talk about
These things are between myself and I
In my thick skull the joker hides
There's consequences I'm scared to taste
Cold hard truths I can't face
These days are different than the past
Reflections change in the looking glass
And everywhere I look there's something to learn
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn
A hatful of quarters and a naked song
Don't answer the question of where we belong
How come birds
Don't fall from the sky when they die?
How come birds
Always look for a quiet place to hide
These words
Can't explain what I feel inside?
Like birds I need a quiet place to hide
These independent moves I make
This confidence I try to fake
You can hear the beating of my heart
But not a feather falling in the dark
And everything I hear never makes any sense
Another old prophet perched on the fence
A cupful of pencils and a self help guru

Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
in your wings my little one
This special
morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go

Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Nestle in your wings my little one
A special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over

"Oh, that's so heavy.
We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song.
Neil is so heavy.
Neil is so mellow and laid back.
I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back.
You know, I have even gone organic.
Last week I ate an Earth Shoe.
Oh, did I sing the ballad yet?
Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it?
I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."
Lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow on the things you know.
My feathers fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
It's over, baby. I say, it's over, baby.
Nestle in your wings my little one.
The special morning brings another sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that do not come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow falling on the things you know.
My feathers, they fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
Hey, baby. It's over, baby. It's over, baby.
I got to fly away. I got to fly away.
Gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.
You believe it now, fly away. I'm goin' to the sun, to fly away.
I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.
Oh, one more time. Fly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fly away.
Close my eyes and I will fly away.
It's over, baby. It's over, baby.
My lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that do not come
today.
She will show you the way to go.
It's over. Thank god, it's over.
I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go

Birds, birds everywhere I see
I wanna live like they do
I wanna be in their trees,
so heavenly
Bird, birds everywhere I go
I wanna know what they know
I wanna live in harmony,
so simply
Dear God, I know sometime I'm gonna die
and when I do I hope you'll give me one more try
up in the sky with those
Birds, birds everywhere I turn
looking down there's no boundaries
looking down there's no countries,
no misery
Dear God, I know sometime I'm gonna die
and when I do I hope you'll give me one more try
up in the sky with those
Birds, birds everywhere I see
I wanna live like they do
I wanna be in their trees,

(Neil Young)
Lover,
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
In your wings my little one
This special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go

Birds, they're walking all around
Birds, they're making little sounds
Have you seen any birds today
I will blow those birds away
Birds, birds, birds, birds
Worms, they're sneaking underground
Worms, they're making tiny sounds
Dirt, is what they eat
Rocks and stones make a worm complete
Worms, worms, worms, worms
Birds, they're looking pretty cute
Birds, I see 'em, I shoot
Have you seen any birds today
I will blow those birds away
Birds, birds, birds, birds

We are birds we
Ran from the water.
And birds we take off
Over the ocean.
We fly in flock sometimes,
Fly in a V.
But we can fly solo,
I can tell you no.
And a sea fly lands on the edge of your footprint,
I'm closer to things on the ground.
There were flowers like lace
All covering paths, like the ones leading up to your door.
They were always there blooming and spreading.
Well how come I have never seen them before?
They grow in a garden or a wild field.
They're bright and their yellow.
Oh, you know.
You sung through all of my sorrows,
The closest that I could have found.
Now I have floated down
From the top of my tears, and
I'm closer to things on the ground.
And most of this room is empty,
And the furniture that is left is rearranged.
"And I can't play you my old songs," you said,
"My hand writing has changed."
The sofas are worn in,
And the foot stools are gone.
The lights set the room a glow.
And taking someone for granted sometimes,
One voice in is more than a sound.
It's like hitting myself in the face.
Now I'm closer to things on the ground.
We are birds we
Ran from the water.
And birds we take off
Over the ocean.
And we fly.
We fly.
We fly.

Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over...
Nestle in your wings my little one
The special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go

Words and music by roddy frame
"hey baby, baby bring your love to me"
Repeats the radio relentlessly
All day i dream a dream where feelings flee
In free formation.
The sweetest sound reflects in saddened eyes
Defies description and identifies
The heart that hungers for the sudden skies
The souls migration.
Chorus:
How sweet to fly
To touch the sky
To feel in the flow
Like the one who glides there.
I feel we flew
We never knew
But to know is to go
When your heart resides there.
I take a winter coat and walk the square
The people gather and the birds they scare
Concrete and clay conspire to cage me there
Among the lost boys.
Down in the streets i see the trees grow bare
Broken and battered in the thinning air
The birds are scattered and my footsteps there
I long for lost joy.

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go

Hey baby, baby, bring your love to me
Repeats the radio relentlessly
All day I dream a dream where feelings flee
In free formation
The sweetest sound reflects in saddened eyes
Defies description and identifies
The heart that hungers for the sudden skies
The souls migration
How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew
But to know is to go when your heart resides there
I take a winter coat and walk the square
The people gather and the birds they scare
Concrete and clay conspire to cage me there
Among the lost boys
Down in the streets I see the trees grow bare
Broken and battered in the thinning air
The birds are scattered and my footsteps there
I long for lost joy
How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew
But to know is to go when your heart resides there
How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew

Spend the day in your bed taking medicine
If that's the only thing that keeps you calm
Well one of these days you've gotta get up
And get out
There is a purpose for all of my sitting here
If you can't understand well you could
If you could just stretch your attention span
Now, for this song
I hope that this is what you will want
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
And I hope that some day I'll hear everyone say
Is that all you've got
Turn it up keep it coming
Cause I've got the words
To keep the birds humming
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
Spend your life with a pen and a microphone
You wrote down everything that you could
In case someone gives them a second glance
Now for this long
I hope that this is what you will want
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
And I hope I'll remember when everyone says
Is that all you've got
Turn it up keep it coming
Cause I've got the words
To keep the birds humming
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
With everyone
Is that all you got
Turn it up, keep it coming
Cause I got the words
To keep the birds humming
Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong
Is that all you got
Turn it up, keep it coming
Cause I got the words
To keep the birds humming
Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something

Fall on me
Fall on me
Fall on me
Fall on me
Birds of a feather and a featherless cap
Poor lovers breed songs in a two-room flat
Moist hands fold to pray for a painless truth
We dance on the tracks of a train called Youth
Truth's on the table like a toxic spill
And we wrestle in the sheets with our own freewill
If we never shake hands with a phantom called Fame
I'll still have your picture in a picture frame
If you should fall
Fall on me, yeah
Fall on me
Fall on me, yeah
Fall on me
Forty-acre farm we can call our own
With a chocolate lab and no telephone
The full moon's leering in a lover's swoon
And the apple tree's swaying to a windy tune
(Save me I'm falling for you)
But we won't get to heaven if we just sit still
If we don't cry murder maybe no one will
We're riding tandem down Sycamore hill
If we hit the brakes we're gonna take a big spill
If you should fall
Fall on me, yeah
Fall on me
Fall on me, yeah
Fall on me
And if my hand were taken hold of
I'd slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Slip away with you love
Birds of a feather and a featherless cap
Poor lovers breed songs in a two-room flat
Moist hands fold to pray for a painless truth

Deep beneath the sound of your breath
I lay craving your death
This damp room full of concrete
Lonely i stand
And alone i will leave
There is no reason for your display
Now a dead cloud that's drawn clean
When all the birds have broken their wings
Oh mercy you
Oh mercy me
And all at once i turned
I follow your hand to our funeral bed
It echoes my name
When sorrow sings
It brings me no chance we'll ever mend
When all the noise is driven away
There's my love, now it's stained
Gallant words
You must refrain
Lonely i stand
And alone i will leave
There is no reason to your display
You're a fable
Now come clean
When all the birds have broken their wings
Oh mercy you
Oh mercy me
And all at once i turned
I follow your hand to our funeral bed
It echoes my name
When sorrow sings
It brings me no chance we'll ever mend
Walk, walk walk walk away
Burn, burn burn, burn into flames
Shy, shy, shy, shy away
Over this past
Over this pain
And all at once i turned
I follow your hand to our funeral bed
It echoes my name
When sorrow sings

Alright what are we doing here? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You're workin and you already stinks like a finger,
Roller Coaster lovely hair
You wanna pop a bubble out you know it's only trouble
cause you think that no one better can care
Wham bam it's a scam you're the man we're your friends
We go nothin' better to say
So we make our only choices that reminded you of voices
They say that nothin's really better today
Oh what hate, wanna be unknown,
If I can't decide, I'll get it on my own
Say you got a leak you know the reason I want a bitch
Said the plais room that are leaving you scared
You're steady and your eye when you're tryin' seein' double
And you never know the places you've been
Can't see it can you hear real trip dine on air
Well something's ready better than they are
We couldn't tell it wanted and it almost broke my heart a situation like just a fair
You can never do anything that's never been done before
You can try a different style but you'll end up on the side of the floor, wasted
Instead of tryin' East and wide redifinded Thinkin' of
We got nothin better to say
Stand out in the gutter we would call a number time and then get a feelin' go away
Oh what hate, wanna be unknown,
If I can't decide, I'll get it on my own
Tired of my own You know we like your sisters keep it like a movie in Maine
She calls at my gun and she leaves me at the bind the she's runnin'
I should clear the way
Wham bam it's a scam you're the man we're your friends
We got nothin' better to say
So we make our only choices with our minds and make our voices says that nothin's really better today
You can never do anything that's never been done before

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark
Before the birds, before they all wake up
It's the ending of a play and soon begins another
Hear the leaves applaud the wind
See the sun come rising and white wings start to fly
Like strings of pearls in the fiery sky
I don't want to close my eyes
Don't want to leave the stage now
As the leaves applaud our stay
Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly
Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide
And the curtains draw again and bow, another day ends

Take your time make peace with the day,
Lying on the ground and cold feet,
And never mind what people will say,
Talking is thoughtless and cheep
I only said it to be kind,
I wont pretend to be nieve,
And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page,
Trying and hoping to be,
You and i like birds in a cage,
Dreaming how once we were free,
The evening closes on the wire,
I saw you hiding in the eeves,
Dont leave me hanging all the while,
A shadow underneath the trees
I only want you to be mine,
I only want you to be free,
If either on of us is right,
It must be sealed to be believed
I only want you to be mine,

This is our true alarms
This is reality
We will do what we can
We are just figurines
With our theology that we don't understand
And we can't forget the beginning
When he set our broken wings
Oh God, how much does it take
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
But we can't but to compare ourselves again
I can't believe in this
This blue-lipped lifeless kiss
And we can't see past our thrones
We fight for life within
But our walls are wearing thin
Oh God, where have we gone
When I'm just one fighting indifference
Does it matter what I say
Oh God, how much does it take
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
But we can't but to compare ourselves again
It's not that there are ever bad intentions
It's more that we forgot where to call home
The important things that we don't know to mention
It's the uniform that we put on
The formula we have for love
Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
It's not that there are ever bad intentions
(Beautiful intentions)
It's more that we forgot where to call home
(Formula for love)
The important things that we don't know to mention
(Beautiful intentions)
It's the uniform that we put on
(Formula for love)

Ay, I pull birds my nigga
I'm pullin' birds
I'm pullin' birds my nigga
I love birds birds birds birds
Birds
[Rasaq]
And I'm talkin' bout the goods
The ones that come in hurds, when I pull up to the curb
Birds, I might let her sip some syrup
Girl don't ya know, it's good for ya hips and curves
Birds, and I ain't talkin' bout the kind that chirp
It's the kind that's gettin' on a niggaz nerves
Birds, and I ain't talkin' bout the drugs
It's the kind that show me love, 'cause I'm rollin' on dubs
Birds, some in the hood, some in the burbs
Some talk country, some use proper words
I get em, I hit em, I dismiss 'em
Don't hug em, don't love em, I don't kiss 'em
She love em, she hug em, she don't listen
The jewelz glisten, call me an adittion
'cause if ya look around my sleeve, you might see two pigeons
I flip em, then flick em, don't trick 'em
Just trick em, she wishin', she wit 'em
She wishin', she get em, she pissed n she trippin
He spittin', he flippin', no trickin, no spendin, no dissin'
Just send her back home, with a bent back bone
Skirt the last gone, and then I'm back home
Lookin' for mo to mack on, lights camera action
I love birds birds birds birds
I love birds birds birds birds

She was waiting at the station
He was getting off the train
He didn't have a ticket
So he had to bum through the barriers again
Well, the ticket inspector saw him rushing through
He said, "Girl, you don't know
How much I missed you but we better run
'Cos I haven't got the funds to pay this fine"
She said fine
And so they ran out of the station
And jumped on to a bus
With two of yesterdays travel cards
And two bottles of Bud
And he said, "You look very nice"
Well, she wearing a skirt
And he thought she looked nice
And yeah, she didn't really care about anything else
'Cos she only wanted him to think
That she looked nice and he did
But he was looking at her, yeah, all funny in the eye
She said, "C'mon boy, tell me what you're thinking
Now don't be shy"
He said, "Alright I'll try"
"All the stars up in the sky and the leaves in the trees
All the broken bits that make you trip up
And grassy bits in between, all the matter in the world
That's how much that I like you"
She said, "What?", he said, "Let me try and explain again"
"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"
"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you"
"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"
"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Yeah, that's how I feel about you"
She said, "What?", he said, "You"
She said, "What are you talking about?"
He said, "You"
"Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"
"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you"
"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"
"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right, that's how I feel about you"
She said, "Thanks, I like you, too"

I see your lips start moving. Spitting out some kind of poison
Through them. Come on, give me all your got now bird. Come
On, why you holding back your words. Always a mess, you
Want to change how I'm thinking. Well change me around,
I'm all yours. Come on, give it to me good now bird. Why are
You holding back your words. I've got to get back to the west
Coast. I'll miss your face though. So I won't even say it, with
You I couldn't fake it. Now it's your eyes their moving. Cutting
Through me for some damn reason. Come on, give me all
You got now bird. Come on, you know I've seen your worst. Now I'm
The mess, I've got to change how I'm thinking. Change me

Birds fighting in midair
And all the sky is theirs
There's all of the sky
Yet they peck anothers eyes
Free as a bird!
Or is that just a word?
Up to be free

What is that sound? sounds like funtell me why, why do these birds sing?
They sing because they don't know when they'll die
I've got a smile because I know they won't fly
Hey, take a look at these birds
They're so gay, make them go away
They sing because they don't know when they'll die
I've got a smile because I know they won't fly
Say it boy, I load my gun
Point at bird, bird falls down
But why did he have to sing?
They sing because they don't know when they'll die
I've got a smile because I know they won't fly
They sing because they don't know when they'll die

Expose them to the air
Drag them by the hair
If you ask I'm feeling fine
Malignant to benign
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Each breath is but a sigh
She never bat an eye
It's not polite to stare
Wool spun from her hair
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Obedient and shy
With button nose and eyes
Recoil at his prayer

I take it you went to town. Saw all the sights to see.
Saw all the birds on the ground looking for things to
eat.
But I wasn't there and I couldn't be there. Probably
didn't care enough to know.
I can be wrong. I'm usually wrong. Guess I didn't know
but now I know.
Give you a hook baited with something that you say you
don't like.
Try it and like it, give it to a friend who doesn't think
about it but likes it anyway.
Gives it to a friend. That's how songs take off with a
couple of friends.
Driving around looking for a fight on a Saturday night
'cause that's the way I am.
But I'm not really that way. I've got a book and a pen.
See you keeping your eyebrows raised. Until that moment
the story aches.
Until that moment the pressure breaks. I sit back and
contemplate what I'm doing.
Something's always coming up and around.
Can you hold your feelings when you've been let down.

Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
And shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
Nestled in your wings, my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
And shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over

To all my hustler niggas
To all the muthafuckas out there that's rollin
You know what I'm talkin bout?
Fuckin with the birds...
Check this out
Bring me back a soda and I don't mean a Sprite
I need the armor hammer so my shit'll bounce right
I was cookin dope, bringin back full moons
Fuck till November, I be gone till June
Summer ain't shit if you ain't got the coke
Flipped a drop-top with the all-gold spokes
Oakland gettin money, nigga, fuck what you heard
Out of town niggas livin half a bird
What you fuckin with?

I'm pushin birds...
Seen my nigga in a Benz and he spin in a ditch
He be movin things for like 13.6
Try to tell his nigga how he hatin the game

Wanna-be niggas can't tell him shit

Found him in the hills with a dick in his mouth
Stupid muthafucka, game turned him out

Violated fuckin with them birds...
Niggas round the world screamin they want some
Used to get my shit from a straight Columb'

I'm puttin up numbers so I'm changin the stats
You all know by now, yes, a nigga need gats
All my Israeli with the Gaza chops
Fully automatic, brand new in the box
A funny style nigga but his guns be good
He used to own a liquor store right up in the hood
Smelly muthafucka, sto' filled with nats
Never woulda thought he had the gats
Made his ass a offer at a thousand a bird
With this type of shit I knew his ass'll stay in fur
Either way it go I'm spendin loot
Cause niggas got the word that it's birds in the coop
And they stay in there
Nigga, AK's in there
Come and try to get my birds...
2.2 36 or a g
Hard or soft, that b-i-r-d
Man's best friend, nigga, fuck a dog
Never got to feed him, plus he bought me a hog
My bike worth 50, Benz worth a hun'
Unrecouped, I do this rap shit for fun
Don't get it twisted, nigga, catch it cause it's real
Had a presidential way 'fore I had a deal
Believe me
I'm born and raised with em
Nigga, I stays with em
Pluckin feathers off the birds...
To all my muthafuckin cola-rollers
Out of muthafuckin controllers
Understand me?
Get that bread, nigga
Crack pays
In so many muthafuckin ways
I used to sell $2 rocks
Nigga, $1.5 rocks, nigga

I cast away everything I own for this feeling inside of me
live my life for my home I'll be safe rather than be left alone
feels like I can't live like I used to so I keep bringing new things
in this to improve the stature of my stance
at first glance it seems so hard to figure
protect my home I hate to but I'm forced to kill
two birds with one stone
so fly away
just fly away
fo find your place
while I stay
I can't stand these claws
reaching for my things
I'll clip your wings
you sing the same song all the other birds sing
pictures and memories take place
and in due time they wither away
and all that's left are the feeling that we had
in reverse
stay away while you are here
my life's not mine
when you look down from above
wishing you could fly with me
I'm bound by the same things
I'm not free
I'm just sticking to the path that belongs to me

I'm turning of the look
From colours of reality
Penetrable, pleasant warmth
This one moment, while
Fly away from here
Touch a sun bean
Breath of wind
I see unblemished sky blue
And below mosaic of hue
Morning's stream of white
I'm penetrating these world by
sails
Only if like they are?
Maybe it's a sleep?!
But birds are swimming
continually

See the seagulls sitting by the waterfront,
Like sculptures made of stone,
Watching summer good times fly away
And leave the seagulls all alone.
Birds are like words:
Suddenly away.
Birds are like words:
Some of them will stay.
See the empty seat beneath me
Thinking of the days I spent with you.
Memories of what we said are circling in my mind
And make me blue.
Words are like birds:
Suddenly away.
Words are like birds:

You hold yourself captive
Until you let yourself go
Then you smile without a care
When you lose yourself in the air
Where the birds roam
Where you're never alone
When you once swore that you were
Never coming home
I swear I'll never leave your side
I swear I'll never leave you
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
I swear I'll never leave your side
I swear I'll never leave you
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
So search around, around the world
Back and forth and back and forth
For someone else who moves your heart
And shakes your soul
You know you're never alone
When I'm away from home
You know it's stamped and bold
I hope it's never old.
I swear I'll never leave your side
I swear I'll never leave you
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
I swear I'll never leave your side
I swear I'll never leave you
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
Where have all the birds gone?
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
I'll still love you when the birds fall from the sky
I'll love you all until the stars fall from the sky
I love you all

And I fought for it all
And I thought that I'd never fall, but I was wrong
The word said, the people fled
Who would've guessed that, this was the end
I'm falling solo
And I want to know
Why does God plaster me
Why does God plaster me in this broken frame?
And it never changes
I'll say this a thousand times
With broken wings
And shattered dreams
I'm worth more than this
This is what you expected
By the count of all the blood and tears
You wouldn't care to know
Well, this is what you expected
When you pull the trigger, cross the line.
Now watch as I fall through the sky
Open your eyes
Get off the ground
Who you are
Is who you'll be
How can you say that you never saw desire in my eyes
How can you say that you never knew that my dream was to fly
Well I watch this as it all went through
But I don't feel a thing
(Will it ever see the sky again?
Will it ever recover?)
You better watch what you say
'Cause God might not forgive you for this awful sin
(And I know who I am, and I know what I've been through)
This is what you expected
By the count of all the blood and tears
You wouldn't care to know
Well, this is what you expected
When you pull the trigger, cross the line.
Now watch as I fall through the sky
I am
(Am I just a fallen judge?)
I am so far away
I am so far away
(Am I just a fallen judge?)
This is what you expected
By the count of all the blood and tears
You wouldn't care to know
Well, this is what you expected
When you pull the trigger, cross the line.
Now watch as I fall through the sky
RISE AGAIN!

Living it up
In an apartment
Living it up
By a convenient store
It was thorn in my side
It was a thorn
It was a carpenters line
It was a thorn
Deliver me
I want to see your hands
Deliver me
From a sea of questions
Do you like birds
Do you like real big birds
Do you like great big birds
This is the biggest bird I've ever seen
The biggest building brought me down on my knees
The wolves were spreading on the island
You change your life around add verbs to everything
Cover your head when there is action
I woke up stumbling still staring at my shoes
The devil lay across my bedspread
Your friends are kings and queens and there heading for the noose
They'll hang like gamefish by the morning
Buy a new shirt
Buy some new shoes
And a new jacket
Way out west they build elevators
They build relationships there filling up empty boxes
And 1000 drummers playing 1000 songs saying
1000 rights equal 1000 wrongs
Don't you sharpen your teeth and your wits on children
You need some answers well you already got em
This is a harbor of boats and there aren't any sailors

Birds, they're walking all around
Birds, they're making little sounds
Have you seen any birds today
I will blow those birds away
Birds, birds, birds, birds
Worms, they're sneaking underground
Worms, they're making tiny sounds
Dirt, is what they eat
Rocks and stones make a worm complete
Worms, worms, worms, worms
Birds, they're looking pretty cute
Birds, I see 'em, I shoot
Have you seen any birds today
I will blow those birds away

Farmer John said 'It's looks like rain
We won't let the clear skies fool us again'
Batten down the cellar doors and board up your homes
Listen to the wind as she creaks and she moans
Isn't it beautiful
Our lack of control
No prayers unanswered, or wishes ignored
Come on, hurry up now
We're a day late for Spring
If we sneak in through April
We won't miss a thing
Isn't it beautiful
Our lack of control
No prayers unanswered or wishes ignored
Come on hurry up now
We're a day late for Spring
We can sneak in through April

Sometimes I ask how could it be
Someone like you would want someone like me
And I'm here waiting on your love
I've been lying awake at night
Listening to the birds singing in the dark
And I'm still waiting on your love
We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher
Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right
If the morning comes at all
I'll dress you up like you're my paper doll
And take you everywhere I go
We won't be afraid to be happy
It's not so easy feeling everything
We were so ready for the fall
If we could only surrender let it in
We'd never have to ask what we were missing
Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right
We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher
We could be holding on tighter
Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
