She's black and red and built just like a spy plane
Extracting information from my mind
The photographs she takes into her mainframe
For your eyes only lonely cold war time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly smiled
[Verse 2]
She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets
Stark and dark against enemy skies
For miles above the earth no-one could detect her
My blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all this time there is no crime or treason that she hasn't seen
[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly smiled
[Bridge]
SR-71 Blackbird from the heaven above
She's the only one
The only spy I ever loved
She's the only spy I ever loved
[Pre-Chorus]
Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly smiled
[Outro]
SR-71 Blackbird from the heaven above
She's the only one
Only spy I ever loved
[Verse 1] She's black and red and built just like a spy plane Extracting information from my mind The photographs she takes into her mainframe For your eyes only lonely cold war time [Pre-Chorus 1] Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From the perch she softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled [Verse 2] She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets Stark and dark against enemy skies For miles above the earth no-one could detect her My blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind [Pre-Chorus 2] And all this time there is no crime or treason that she hasn't seen [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From the perch she softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled [Bridge] SR-71 Blackbird from the heaven above She's the only one The only spy I ever loved She's the only spy I ever loved [Pre-Chorus] Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From the perch she softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled [Outro] SR-71 Blackbird from the heaven above She's the only one Only spy I ever loved Explain Request ×
