Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's black and red and built just like a spy plane
Extracting information from my mind
The photographs she takes save to a mainframe
For your eyes only, lonely cold war time (Of mine)
[Verse 2]
Now after all the city falls
Just like the night or an angel does
[Verse 3]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch, you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
[Verse 4]
She's built for speed and made for keepin' secrets
Stark and dark against enemy skies
From miles above the earth, no one can detect her
My Blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind (Goodbye)
[Verse 5]
And all this time, there is no crime
Of treason that she hasn't seen
[Verse 6]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch, you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
[Verse 7]
SR-71 Blackbird from the hell above
She's the only one
Only spy I ever loved
She's the only spy I ever loved
[Verse 8]
Now after all the city falls
Just like the night or an angel does
[Verse 9]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch, you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
[Verse 10]
SR-71 Blackbird from the hell above
She's the only one
Only spy I ever loved
