Icarus Missed |
| A rare sea-bird flies once in a while |
| High up in the blue sky |
| People shoot at it like lunatics |
| And take aeroplanes |
| Icarus missed |
| The populace did not |
| Trivia… Trivia |
| He’s a head bird, he’s an idiot, he’s an artist |
| And he’s way above your head |
| Wisdom was a pearl before it was a swine |
| You can’t let yours wallow I can’t with mine… |
| They cut your legs off when the blood |
| Couldn’t face up to that task anymore… |
| Icarus missed |
| Who twisted the arrow |
| Trivia… Trivia |
| It’s a head-bird, it’s a trivia-killing trogon |
| And it’s way above your head |
| The story is untrue of how he came to fall down |
| The sun was never that hot: |
| He was shot from the ground! |
| He was shot from the ground! |
| He was shot from the ground… |
