Birds I don't wanna drive a fancy car today I don't wanna ride in a red corvette I don't wanna jog my Saturday away But I don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane I don't wanna parasail or play roulette I don't wanna risk it all or go insane But I don't wanna go home yet
I just want to watch the birds go by from my handy foldable blue canvas throne I wanna watch them fly and fly And see them soar up into the unknown But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field I'm not up for a match of polo I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed I'm also not up for... water polo
I just wanna watch the birds up there Track the migratory patterns that they flow I wanna watch them from my chair With my binoculars, my latte and my phone Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and mynas
It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist
Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away I wanna watch the birds do what they will Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet calm still Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone. I just wanna be alone
