I told her thank you She said that's it I got real nervous, she kissed my lips And in that moment, I swore, she was all mine We got to talking, and she began to compliment me Said that she likes the way I sing, And perhaps she could help me But I was caught up, in the pain behind her eyes She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too Don't care where, just want to spend some time with you A little time with you Just a blue-eyed boy and a green-eyed girl And the brightest moon in the whole damn year And, oh!, I wake up to find this daydream Her eyes make diamonds look like loose change The kind that make a man Lose track of what he's saying, like, Oooooooh She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too Don't care where, just me and you Listen, don't want to play the game, just watch your turn And if I occupy the contents of your mind Then make me a bird, I'll fly with you Don't care where, just want to see and spit the truth Just a blue-eyed boy and a green-eyed girl And the brightest moon in the whole damn year Oooooooh She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too Don't care where, just me and you Listen, don't want to play the game, just watch your turn And if I occupy the contents of your mind Then make me a bird, I'll fly with you Don't care where, just want to see and spit the truth Make me a bird God, make me a bird Make me a bird God, make me a bird
