Strangebyrds / Ray Smith
Strangebyrds, that's you and me
never quite fittin into society
We tried and we tried got married to the lie
tryin to build somethin from nothin
the thing that you find when you build on a lie
yeah it just starts crumblin
-CH-
Strangebyrd you are my world you're the one that sees me
and I know with you I'm home wherever that my be
Strangebyrd come with me, we'll fly around the back door
perch on the stage and sing
well there's a whole lot of trouble in the world today
everybodies just tryin to get away
We'll try to make em laugh we'll try to make em sing
gonna do the only thing we can do
-CH-
