Down West - Metal Bird Lyrics

Cool in the breeze of the afternoon sun we go walkin' by
All the people we saw in the mornin', they go drivin' by
And the dogs runnin' up the gates, I know they won't bark today
All the feelings I had as I walked out the door, they just slipped away

'Cause the metal bird flies overhead
Is it somebody injured or dead
Or the cars going past
Or the river is fast
Getting high
Getting high

Now a newsreader's eyes are opening wide with a bulletin
And the neighbors are turning on lights and calling the children in
And we never would know what a dangerous world that we're living in
We'd just bundle up tight, and dream through the night in oblivion

But the metal bird flies overhead
Is it somebody injured or dead
Or the cars going past
Or the river is fast
Getting high
Getting high

Yeah the metal bird flies overhead
Is it somebody injured or dead
Or the cars going past
Or the river is fast
Getting high
Getting high
Getting high
Oh getting high
