Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Danger bird, he flies alone
And he rides the wind back to his home
Although his wings have turned to stone
[Verse 2]
And we used to be so calm
Now I think about you all day long
(That's the moment that he cracked)
'Cause you've been with another man
(Long ago in the museum with his friends)
There you are and here I am
[Verse 3]
The jailbird takes the rap
And he finds himself spread-eagled on the track
But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast
[Verse 4]
And I know we should be free
But freedom's just a prison to me
(With the rain pounding on his back
He recalls the moment that he cracked)
'Cause I lied to keep it kind
(Long ago in the museum with his friends)
When I left you far behind
(And like those memories, the rain just keeps pounding down, down, down)
[Verse 5]
And though these wings have turned to stone
I can fly, fly, fly away
Watch me fly above the city
Like a shadow on the sky
[Verse 6]
(Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly)
