Stan Ridgway - Hear that bird lyrics

rate me

I hear that bird chirpin' in the tree

I wonder what he's seein' I don't see

Now everybody's happy, but today I feel so wrong

So I guess I'll just shut up and move along

Chasin' dreams that float like dust in th' air

Grab 'em once, but twice, they disappear

Up in smoke they hover, like dope rings from a bong

So I guess I'll just shut up and move along

I was thinkin' 'bout you just the other day

And if you could see me now, and what you'd say

Some things do get better––yeah, the « weak (week?) » goes to the strong

But then I guess I'll just shut up and move along

I hear that bird chirpin' in the tree

I wonder what he's seein' I don't see

Everybody's happy, but today I feel so wrong

So I guess I'll just shut up and move along

Guess I'll just shut up and move along

Guess I'll just shut up and move along

Just move along
