Birds are more than feathers
and you are more than flesh.
Words and music, mind and heart,
they grow apart, and they mesh.
So you, and I, and all of us
we try and try to recall
how you, and I, and all of us
behaved before the fall.
At night, when your eyes like the new moon close,
and you’re left alone with silver visions,
don’t you wonder at the power of the darkness,
sightless sight, and new collisions?
So you, and I, and all of us
we try and try to recall
how you, and I, and all of us
behaved before the fall.
When sparks fly from ice in the sun
and your eyes flicker over with mist,
don’t you wanna dance?
Don’t you wanna dance?
Don’t you wanna dance?
Don’t you wanna dance?
Birds are more than feathers
and you are more than flesh.
Words and music, mind and heart,
they grow apart, and they mesh.
So you, and I, and all of us
we try and try to recall
how you, and I, and all of us
behaved before the fall.
