Hey Bird Songtext
von Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra

Hey bird
Turn the radio off
And come back inside
The beers are all gone
The girls left for summer
And we′re left here to stay
To work out our grudges for the rest of the day
We'll go back to those nights under living room lights
Hanging with friends that we′ve left behind
For now we'll just sit here, stuck inside
We're feeling dead but you′re still alive


We dated in high school
We thought we were so cool
Smoking cigarettes
And talking about tattoos we would get when we′re older
When we had the cash
Or the guts
To rebel

Hey bird
The stereo's blown
We played it too loud
Now we′re going home
There's nothing to work towards
We′ve seen it all before
We're just killing time until you say goodbye
You′re dead with denial from living room trials
So hoist up the white flag
Don't live in the clouds
So now we'll just sit here
On standby
We′re glued to concrete but you still can fly


We dated in high school
We thought we were so cool
Sneaking backstage at all of the shows
We never thought we′d get caught
Or grow old
