Up In The Air Lyrics - Husker Du

Pass away the hours 

Hear the footsteps of the past 

Walking up the stairs of time 

Knowing that I'm trapped 

The cold winds of indifference 

Persuade a movement south 

Thinking that it's better there 

The warmer climes that we seek out 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

And how much misery can one soul take? 

Trying to fly away might have been your first mistake 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

Picking petals off a flower 

Loves me, loves me not 

Is love another way to count 

The things you haven't got? 

Well, we wish the best to all our friends 

Young and old alike 

When the dust has settled in the sky 

Well, you can have anything you like 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

And how much misery can one soul take? 

Trying to fly away might have been your first mistake 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

And how much misery can one soul take? 

Trying to fly away might have been your first mistake 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere 

Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting, never getting anywhere
