Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White bird with a black tail
Eyes dark and face so pale
Do you know what your future holds
Over your side of the road
[Verse 2]
White bird with a black tail
Look like an open sail
Made me look up from my shoes
To show me what you stand to lose
[Verse 3]
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail
White bird, white bird
With a black tail
[Verse 4]
White feathers dipped in tar
It's hard to tell how old you are
Wondering how much you know
About all of us below
[Verse 5]
Half of you is heavenly
Showing off your purity
The rest of you is from the street
Like a line where they both meet
[Verse 6]
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
With a black tail
