lyrics

Stand back and do the countdown.
5,4,3,2,1. I'm taking off now and
you all look like ants except you're not as strong as ants and
it's a bright day but I can't tell.
Theres 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 nowhere 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 live here you should learn the language.

So as time goes by you'll notice that theres more to what you see.
It makes no difference. It's the same damn thing.
So when they clip your arms you're no longer a scarecrow.
You're a child. You're a pile of blindfolds.

Think fast.
Here comes a had one in the form of 50,000,000 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.
