Jonathan White - A Thousand Birds Lyrics

Let me tell you this
No sea could drown her tortured soul
And may I also say
That butterfly tourniquet
Matches her expression
She really wears it well

And she never said
Who placed those thoughts inside her head
No-one cares today
About anybody anyway
Our minds have all been poisoned
By the modern world

I trip over the light fantastic
Even with the eyes of a superfly
I still could never see
Come and take a ride on the plastic
Get down with the let down
No confidence comes free

As we said our goodbyes
A thousand birds flew from her eyes
And all the people gathered round
To nod their heads to the rotor sound
You'll never be forgotten
My heart will burn for you

I trip over the light fantastic
Even with the eyes of a superfly
I still could never see
Come and take a ride on the plastic
Get down with the let down
No confidence comes free
