Black and Blue Bird

If I could fly at the speed of light

I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years

Butterflies and black and bluebirds

I'll never be the same since I met you

Pennies thrown into a fountain

Make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath

Not as troubling when you consider

Believers that would welcome the end of the world

Got a job and it pays me

I want love more than I deserve

I read the paper, makes me crazy

There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh

Ashes, stardust

Look at us crawling out the mud

Let's go around the block

We'll make the most before the jig is up

Dreamers, the big talk

We'll never know the thickest never stop

Ashes, stardust

Look at us crawling out the mud

I know that dying is scary to us

But everybody do it one, two, three

On the sidewalk, the dandelion

Is reaching from a crack up to the sun

Words can be a wicked tool

For twisting truth I wanna be true to you

Blood and bones, black holes and stones

All those things pave the way for you and me

Got a job and it pays me

I want love more than I deserve

I read the paper, makes me crazy

There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh

Ashes, stardust

Look at us crawling out the mud

Let's go around the block

We'll make the most before the jig is up

Campfires and high rise

You never did quite know when to stop

Ashes, stardust

Look at me crawling out the mud

If I could fly at the speed of light

I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years

Butterflies and black and bluebirds

I'll never be the same since I met you

Baby, dying is scary to us

But everybody do it A, B, C

God is troubling when I consider

Believers that would welcome the end of the world

Got a job and it pays me

I want love more than I deserve

I read the paper, makes me crazy

There's gotta be a way to make it work, oh

Ashes, stardust

Look at us crawling out the mud

Let's go around the block

We'll make the most before the jig is up

Ashes, stardust

Look at us crawling out the mud

Ashes, stardust

Look at me crawling out the mud

Butterflies and black and bluebirds

I'll never be the same since I met you

If I could fly at the speed of light

I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years

Butterflies and black and bluebirds
