I saw a bird fly away

I saw a bird fly away Lyrics

I asked the habitual party goer
just how high she thought she'd get
And I asked the ethereal girls if they were floating yet

And so I asked the light of the day,
what's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away, and I could not ask again

The tabloid tainted actress knows the myth of higher ground
The thing she got from playing a nun
she got from sleeping around

And so I asked the light of the day,
what's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away, and I could not ask again
He fell in the mud and he became enlightened
I wonder who's laughing now

And I've been running uphill, panting, punching at the air
Fighting what's been pushing me down like I can see it there

And so I asked the light of the day,
what's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away and I could not ask again

And I saw all this climbing, climbing,
just as far from heaven
And I saw a bird fly away, and I started climbing again.

Who's laughing now

He fell in the mud and he became enlightened,
I wonder who's laughing now
