The Stranglers - Valley of the Birds Lyrics

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances
Into the valley of the bird, absurd
I don't remember what it was the old man said
I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before
So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances

And had a flight for the brother who can't be
Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get my

Face tanned it's beautiful here
Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly

We decided one for all and all for one
And when I do, I really want to go in style
So without a sense of reason we explored
Like throwing stones into the great unknown

Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get my
Face tanned it's beautiful here
Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly
