Black And Blue Bird

If I could fly at the speed of light I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years Butterflies and black and bluebirds I'll never be the same since I met you Pennies thrown into a fountain Make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath Not as troubling when you consider Believers that would welcome the end of the world Got a job and it pays me I want love more than I deserve I read the paper, makes me crazy There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud Let's go around the block We'll make the most before the jig is up Dreamers, the big talk We'll never know the thickest never stop Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud I know that dying is scary to us But everybody do it one, two, three On the sidewalk, the dandelion Is reaching from a crack up to the sun Words can be a wicked tool For twisting truth I wanna be true to you Blood and bones, black holes and stones All those things pave the way for you and me Got a job and it pays me I want love more than I deserve I read the paper, makes me crazy There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud Let's go around the block We'll make the most before the jig is up Campfires and high rise You never did quite know when to stop Ashes, stardust Look at me crawling out the mud If I could fly at the speed of light I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years Butterflies and black and bluebirds I'll never be the same since I met you Baby, dying is scary to us But everybody do it A, B, C God is troubling when I consider Believers that would welcome the end of the world Got a job and it pays me I want love more than I deserve I read the paper, makes me crazy There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud Let's go around the block We'll make the most before the jig is up Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud Ashes, stardust Look at me crawling out the mud Butterflies and black and bluebirds I'll never be the same since I met you If I could fly at the speed of light I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years Butterflies and black and bluebirds
