White bird with a black tail Half dark, and a face so pale Do you know what your future holds? Over your side of the road
White bird with a black tail You look like an open sail Made me look up from your shoes To show me what you stand to lose.
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
White feathers dipped in tar Hard to tell how old you are Wondering how much you know About all of us below
Half of you is heavenly, Showing off your purity. The rest of you is from the street Like to laugh where they both meet
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.
