Lyrics The Stranglers

The Stranglers

Valley of the Birds

Ray decided to be silly after all

He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war

So he strapped himself in and he took his chances

Into the valley of the bird, absurd

I don't remember what it was the old man said

I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before

So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances

And had a flight for the brother who can't be

Birdman, looking for the

Wasteland, trying to get my

Face tanned it's beautiful here

Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly

We decided one for all and all for one

And when I do, I really want to go in style

So without a sense of reason we explored

Like throwing stones into the great unknown

Birdman, looking for the

Wasteland, trying to get my

Face tanned it's beautiful here

Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly
