Jimmy Buffett - Strange Bird lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Strange Bird lyrics]
Half-fast and seldom seen
He don't blip the radar screen
On the deck, below the dune
Under the commander's moon
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
God only knows where the strange bird goes
When he's flying
Everybody's trying to find him
But they don't know where to start
The ornithologist lady says
That he has wings on his heart
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him, you can't name him
If you can't see him, you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
Frequent flyer, seldom seen
High above the Caribbean
In my day I've met a few
But he's the strangest bird, that's true
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him you can't name him
If you can't see him you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
But he's in love with the lady of the waters
And she lives somewhere up around Cheauxvan
He's gonna circle high above
Her runway of love
Until she gives him her permission to land
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him, you can't name him
If you can't see him, you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
Watch out, girl, he's a strange bird
Strange bird flying low
'Cross the Gulf of Mexico
Strange bird, not like all the rest
Watch out, girl, he's a strange bird
Shoot you down, he's a strange bird
It's a bird, it's a plane
It's a strange bird
He don't blip the radar screen
On the deck, below the dune
Under the commander's moon
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
God only knows where the strange bird goes
When he's flying
Everybody's trying to find him
But they don't know where to start
The ornithologist lady says
That he has wings on his heart
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him, you can't name him
If you can't see him, you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
Frequent flyer, seldom seen
High above the Caribbean
In my day I've met a few
But he's the strangest bird, that's true
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him you can't name him
If you can't see him you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
But he's in love with the lady of the waters
And she lives somewhere up around Cheauxvan
He's gonna circle high above
Her runway of love
Until she gives him her permission to land
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low, not like all of the rest
If you can't catch him, you can't name him
If you can't see him, you can't claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird
Watch out, girl, he's a strange bird
Strange bird flying low
'Cross the Gulf of Mexico
Strange bird, not like all the rest
Watch out, girl, he's a strange bird
Shoot you down, he's a strange bird
It's a bird, it's a plane
It's a strange bird
