David Sylvian - Jean The Birdman Şarkı Sözleri
David Sylvian
| Şarkı Sözleri
he gambles on the sabbath he´s pulling at the mane he thrashes on the horse´s back ambition is a bloody game horse doesn´t want to jump the river looks too wide well he faces every hurdle with a nervous state of mind "stay with me, breathe deeply take three paces back turn and make a full attack" the gods are laughing and they´re tugging at the reins but he´s taken to his wings and they hit the bank heaven may stone him but jean the birdman pulls it off his finger´s on the trigger his eye is on the clock he doesn´t give the game away and quickly fires the bullets off six hearts cut short still dreaming they´re alive run´round in dusty circles like an absent state of mind who hunter? who victim? god love america he surely doesn´t love him hitching out of nowhere lands in traffic knee deep a chance to stave the morning off and get some sleep heaven may stone him but jean the birdman pulls it off he wears a crucifix his mother left to him it´s wrapped in chains around his heart rusted and wafer thin "don´t count on luck son" all the angels sing "don´t need to check a weathervane we all know what tomorrow brings" life is a gamble from coyotes with the mules life is a bullring for taking risks and flouting rules who needs a safety net the world is open wide just look out for card sharks and the danger signs heaven may stone him but jean the birdman pulls it off
