E B A bird asked of a bird D 'In this context, a concave nest, E B How do we learn to hurt?' D, E, B D 'Do you mean there's no variation?' E B D Watching a dog charge a flock of birds Exploding in congregation E B 'Why plan; when we stop?' D 'I dunno... but why suppose E B It's not the way it should be? D When you can fly above The great waiting list,' E As the crow implies, B 'We won't be missed, D E We can leave.' G, D, F#m, G A It's a routine flight for this bird tonight There's more worms than earth in the afterlife Where the blind feed the blind, F#m G Whispering things like 'On the money' and 'Bullseye' A She picks up the little leaves Where human wrecks are left to seed Left to repaint their deities F#m G And plaster away at their villainies E B Where there's love, there's hope D 'And do you hope those earthbound poets E B Could learn to sing as good as us? D E So we can sit back and enjoy our illusions B And our quietus?' D 'Well I don't know... but why suppose E B It's not the way it should be? D When you can squawk And wait for word from above E B And change yourself into something you love D E When you leave?'
