The Golden Palominos - Bird Flying lyrics

I don't know where I am But I like it here just fine It's dark and cool And I like it here just fine There was a reason But I can't remember it I think it had to do with being alive No, no, no God I don't want to go Give that great gift of fire To another poor soul I don't think it lasted until my skin Was paper thin back curled like A question mark eyes closed by cataracts The twilight tears I think I missed them I was gone, gone, gone Fragments of what was said and what happened This time no beginning no end it goes rushing By it goes rushing by take away the memory of What happened this time no beginning no end It goes by like this it goes by like this If there are angels Can't I be one of them? Or if not an angel Then how about bird flying? What lesson did I miss? All of them I guess But learning them again will k** me Oh yea, that didn't work There was blood on the tile and the phone was ringing Newspaper folded on the table and the cats sat waiting The silence was broken by the sound of traffic and The birds in the alley It was the end of something
