I got a blue bird

A blue bird on my shoulder

I got a blue bird

A blue bird on my shoulder



I saw her standing

Standing by the water

She was naked

Her hair in great disorder



And I know why I'm flying

And the rest is lies



I sent a warning

A warning of disaster

I sent a warning

I warned of great disaster



I sent that blue bird

That blue bird down the water

I sent that blue bird

Floating down the water



And I know that I'm flying

And the rest is lies



And I know that I'm flying

And the rest is lies.
