Bird Flying Lyrics - The Golden Palominos

I don't know where I am 

But I like it here just fine 

It's dark and cool 

And I like it here just fine 

There was a reason 

But I can't remember it 

I think it had to do with being alive 

No, no, no God I don't want to go 

Give that great gift of fire 

To another poor soul 

I don't think it lasted until my skin 

Was paper thin back curled like 

A question mark eyes closed by cataracts 

The twilight tears I think I missed them 

I was gone, gone, gone 

Fragments of what was said and what happened 

This time no beginning no end it goes rushing 

By it goes rushing by take away the memory of 

What happened this time no beginning no end 

It goes by like this it goes by like this 

If there are angels 

Can't I be one of them? 

Or if not an angel 

Then how about bird flying? 

What lesson did I miss? 

All of them I guess 

But learning them again will kill me 

Oh yea, that didn't work 

There was blood on the tile and the phone was ringing 

Newspaper folded on the table and the cats sat waiting 

The silence was broken by the sound of traffic and 

The birds in the alley 

It was the end of something
