| White bird with a black tail
|
| Half dark, and a face so pale
|
| Do you know what your future holds?
|
| Over your side of the road
|
| White bird with a black tail
|
| You look like an open sail
|
| Made me look up from your shoes
|
| To show me what you stand to lose.
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| With your face so pale
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| Where’d you get that tail?
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| With a black tail
|
| White feathers dipped in tar
|
| Hard to tell how old you are
|
| Wondering how much you know
|
| About all of us below
|
| Half of you is heavenly,
|
| Showing off your purity.
|
| The rest of you is from the street
|
| Like to laugh where they both meet
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| With your face so pale
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| Where’d you get that tail?
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| With your face so pale
|
| White bird, white bird
|
| With a black tail. |
