White bird with a black tail
Eyes dark and face so pale
Do you know what your future holds?
Over your side of the road
White bird with a black tail
You look like an open sail
Make me look up from my shoes
To show me what you stand to lose
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail?
White bird, white bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar
It's hard to tell how old you are
Wondering how much you know
About all of us below
Half of you is heavenly
Showing off your purity
The rest of you is from the street
Like a line where they both meet
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail?
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
With a black tail
