Rain Bird

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
