Danger Bird Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Danger bird, he flies alone
And he rides the wind back to his home
Although his wings have turned to stone

[Chorus]
And we used to be so calm
Now I think about you all day long
(That's the moment that he cracked)
'Cause you've been with another man
(Long ago in the museum with his friends)
There you are and here I am

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
The jailbird takes the rap
And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks
But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast

[Chorus]
And I know we should be free
But freedom's just a prison to me
(With the rain pounding on his back)
(He recalls that moment when he cracked)
'Cause I lied to keep it kind
(Long ago in the museum with his friends)
When I left you far behind
(And like those memories
The rain keeps pounding
Down, down, down)
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And though these wings have turned to stone
I can fly, fly, fly away
Watch me fly above the city like a shadow on the sky

[Outro]
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
