Second Cla** Spacemen - Mockingbird lyrics

[Verse 1] On bored summer days I look up into the sky Wonder if birds appreciate the fact that they can fly Or do they look down upon our version of mobility? Are they envious of our bipedal abilities? [Verse 2] I look into the lives of the migrating birds Wishing that I could communicate to them with words Have them tell me stories of their twice yearly flight Of what wonders they witness while the north is turning white [Chorus] I wonder if I had a chat with an old Mockingbird Would she want to teach me all the songs that she had heard Songs about the wind, songs about her nest Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest [Verse 3] Consider the colored coats of birds deep in the words Far surpa**ing the beauty of our manufactured goods Sometimes I am jealous of their lofty homes and trees Free to look upon the world and enjoy the summer breeze [Verse 4] I envy eagles soaring through the cool evening air They seem relaxed, riding calming currents way up there Only worried about eating fish out of the lake No other cares are on their minds, nothing else at stake [Chorus] I wonder if I had a chat with an old Mockingbird Would she want to teach me all the songs that she had heard Songs about the wind, songs about her nest Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest [Outro] Songs about the wind, songs about her nest Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest (x3)
