Hüsker Dü - Up in the Air lyrics

Pass away the hours
Hear the footsteps of the past
Walking up the stairs of time
Knowing that I'm trapped
The cold winds of indifference
Persuade a movement south
Thinking that it's better there
The warmer climes that we seek out

Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
How much misery can one soul take?
Trying to fly away might have
Been your first mistake
Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere

Picking petals off a flower, loves me
Loves me not is love another way to count
The things you haven't got?
Well, we wish the best to all our friends
The young and old alike
When the dust has settled in the sky
You can have anything you like

Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
And how much misery can one soul take?
Trying to fly away might have
Been your first mistake
Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
And how much misery can one soul take?
Trying to fly away might have
Been your first mistake
Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere, woah

Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
Poor bird flies up in the air
Never getting anywhere
