Heaven on a Bird

Look into the microscope
At  any major city by the sea
There  you'll find the missing link
Between missed opportunity and me
Going into overdrive I underwhelm the world
Without  my charms
I  have set the course to fail
A ship without a sail tends to roll away
(Roll  away)

I look up
Clouds of white inside my paper cup
And though it's undeniable it's so absurd
Trying  to get to heaven on a little bird
Trying to get to heaven on a bird

Have you ever watched a life
Go spinning down an omnipresent drain?
Can you spare a dime to help
Alleviate a burning-barrel brain?
Pushing through the afternoon
With nothing but these rags upon my back
I am waiting for a break
The world I will forsake when I take the reigns

I look up
Clouds of white inside my paper cup
And though it's undeniable it's so absurd
Trying to get to heaven on a little bird
Trying to get to heaven on a bird

I'm going to heaven on a
I'm going to heaven on a
Bird

Heaven on a bird
It's such a fantasy
Heaven on a bird
Is it reality
Heaven on a bird
Wouldn't you really know
Heaven on a bird
To go to the place above
Must do the flight alone
You could be anything
I'm gonna let away

I look up
Clouds of white inside my paper cup
And though it's undeniable it's so absurd
Trying to get to heaven on a little bird
Trying to get to heaven on a bird
I look up
Clouds of white inside my paper cup
