Wrapped it up inside my skull
I just cannot seem to make it real
Downward stroke, back and up
Downward stroke, back and up
And even without hollow bones
And burdened down by all these clothes
Against the forces of the Earth
I swear that I will make it real
And when we go
Take nothing with us
Southerly
And when it's cold
Then they will miss us
Southerly
I have intellectualized
Looked at this from every side
I just cannot seem to make it fly
Downward stroke, back and up
Downward stroke, back and up
Hush, pretty bird, don't you know you can't sing?
Whoosh, little bird gonna take to the sky
I understand the principle Wrapped it up inside my skull I just cannot seem to make it real Downward stroke, back and up Downward stroke, back and up And even without hollow bones And burdened down by all these clothes Against the forces of the Earth I swear that I will make it real And when we go Take nothing with us Southerly And when it's cold Then they will miss us Southerly I have intellectualized Looked at this from every side I just cannot seem to make it fly Downward stroke, back and up Downward stroke, back and up Hush, pretty bird, don't you know you can't sing? Whoosh, little bird gonna take to the sky Explain Request ×
