Shame bird is flying shame shame on someone
Shame bird is flying shame shame on somebody
That someone is me don't crook your finger at me if you see me walking by
I'm not the same guy when I'm high ha
Well it may be outta sight and I can't see it it may be outta sight and I can't see it
It may be outta sight and I can't see it I guess the reason being maybe I can't be it
I say shame bird is flying...
[ guitar ]
Well it may be outta sight...
