Strange Bird |
Half fast and seldom seen |
He don’t blip the radar screen |
On the deck below the dune |
Under the commander’s moon |
Strange bird from a different nest |
Flying low not like all of the rest |
God only knows where the strange bird goes when he’s flying |
Everybody’s trying to find him |
But they don’t know where to start |
The ornithologist lady says that he has wings on his heart |
Strange bird from a different nest |
Flying low not like all of the rest |
If you can’t catch him you can’t name him |
If you can’t see him you can’t claim him |
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down |
Wings on his heart, he’s a strange bird |
Frequent flyer, seldom seen |
High above the Caribbean |
In my day I’ve met a few but he’s the strangest bird that’s true |
Strange bird from a different nest |
Flying low not like all of the rest |
If you can’t catch him you can’t name him |
If you can’t see him you can’t claim him |
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down |
Wings on his heart, he’s a strange bird |
But he’s in love with the lady of the waters |
And she lives somewhere up around Cheauxvan |
He’s gonna circle high above her runway of love |
Until she gives him her permission to land |
Strange bird from a different nest |
Flying low not like all of the rest |
If you can’t catch him you can’t name him |
If you can’t see him you can’t claim him |
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down |
Wings on his heart, he’s a strange bird |
Watch out girl, he’s a strange bird |
Strange bird flying low |
'Cross the Gulf of Mexico |
Strange bird not like all the rest |
Watch out girl he’s a strange bird |
Shoot you down, he’s a strange bird |
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a strange bird |
