lyrics

stand back, do the countdown
five four three two one i'm taking off now
and you all look like ants
but you're not as strong as ants
and it's a bright day but i can't tell
there's a window but it's crystal and it's cracked in the middle
and everything looks like
it's a spider or a fly and i'm a bird
but i have no where to go

so i sing and it sounds pretty
to some but to others it just gets annoying
and they want me to shut up so they can get more sleep, but no
there's nothing you can do
i can sing all i want and i'm singing to you
and the words to this song are very meaningful
but you don't speak bird
if you lived here you would learn the language

and as time goes by you'll notice that there's more to what you'll see
it makes no difference, it's the same damn thing
and when they clip your arms you're no longer a scarecrow
you're a child, you're a pile of blindfolds

we fly, fly like bird fly, fly together, like a feather
think fast, here comes a hard one
in the form of fifty milliion smart bombs
just because you're underground
doesn't mean you're safe from harm
and i try to float on with a wing and a prayer
that goes out to anyone who's waiting
wanting to share
it's not a novel if you don't write it down anywhere
