Lyrics

Birdman

Blackbird flying in the sky
Please don't look me in the eye
You are very very lucky
It's never easy to find me
The winter's coming now you've grown
The cold will numb you to the bone
It cuts you through so that you know
In pain the minutes go so slow

Your soul and mine will carry on
When this transparent world is gone
There's nothing strange in what I say
It's always meant to be this way
Power streams where love is strong
Energy converting, never gone
There's never going to be an end
A million atoms can't pretend

Until the cold ground swallows me
Me and Ide, go running free
Then we'll change, not disappear
All channels receiving loud and clear
Birdman think he owns the sky
But he can't look me in the eye
I walk on gilded mirror blades
I walk on razors feel no pain
In the heat of summertime

Rolling thunder is my sign
I understand what's going on
I'm gonna fly right to the sun

Rolling thunder #2

Instrumental

Let's get lost

I get so bored by the day's end
I'm holding on for the weekend
I don't know why
I'm burning up inside

Let's get lost, feel like driving out of my mind
Wheels on fire, see those dust clouds rising up to the sky
You don't know the way that you got me feeling
Everyone around is wheeling and dealing
Endless freeway, cruising down the line on Highway 69
Let's get lost, feel like driving out of my mind
Wheels on fire, see those dust clouds rising up to the sky

"Come on baby, take my hand, lead me to the promised land"
"You're meant for me, I'm meant for you, what fate has done, we can't undo"

Let's get lost, feel like driving out of my mind
Wheels on fire, see those dust clouds rising up to the sky

Don't let it die

Do you wanna change
Or do you wanna stay the same
You got me running rings around the night again
Do you wanna feel
Or do you wanna feel the same
Don't let them tell you, you'll never change the game
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on (accept it don't deny)
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on

Do you wanna hide
Or let your spirit fly
Capture the moment, before it passes by
Do you wanna give
Do you wanna live
Deceive yourself or quietly admit
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on (accept it all tonight)
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on

Do you wanna change
Or will it always stay the same
Don't let them tell you, you'll never change the game
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on (accept it don't deny)
Something's going on (don't let it die)
Something's going on
