Rain Bird Lyrics - Earth Sun Moon - Love And Rockets

Rain bird dives through the hole in a broken guitar 

Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue 

Like a stranded insect stuck in a bowl of glue 

He tries to fly but he will die, if he ever leaves the zoo 

Rain bird 

Rain bird 

Rain bird swoops through the chimney pots and rain 

Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage 

Hiding in the spotlights of a famous stage 

He tries to become invisible, whilst stealing the front page 

Rain bird 

Rain bird 

Rain bird 

Rain bird 

When you were a boy, you used to wish for this 

But like the cat who turns his nose up at the dish 

Now that you have it, you want to give it away 

When you had to work so hard 

Slogging for a pittance in a boot and shoe yard 

That's when you wanted what you now give away 

Rain bird 

You're all the rage bird 

Rain bird 

You're all the rage bird
