I Saw a Bird Fly Away

I asked the habitual partygoer

Just how high she thought she'd get,

And I asked the ethereal girls

If they were floating yet

And so I asked the light of the day,

What's this rush for heaven,

And I saw a bird fly away,

And I could not ask again.

The tabloid-tainted actress knows

The myth of higher ground.

The thing she got from playing a nun

She got from sleeping around.

And so I asked the light of the day,

What's this rush for heaven,

And I saw a bird fly away,

And I could not ask again.

He fell in the mud and

He became enlightened

I wonder who's laughin' now

And I've been running uphill,

Panting, punching at the air,

Fighting what's been pushing me down,

Like I can see it there.

And so I asked the light of the day, what's this rush for heaven,

And I saw a bird fly away, and

I could not ask again.

And I saw all this climbing, climbing, just as far from heaven,

And I saw a bird fly away, and

I started climbing again.

Who's laughing now

He fell in the mud and

He became enlightened,

I wonder...who's laughing now
