Lyrics
Fantastic Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So then you've found your place
You say I wanna be the first
Stand up comedian in outer space
But then in a fantastic bird
Fantastic bird
Space is gonna thrill you
Space could even kill you
But space will never love you like I do
Reflecting light down to earth
Oh yes then some humour too
Just enough to make us know we don't miss you
Have you checked suspension in the fantastic bird
Fantastic bird
Science can engulf you
Science then propels you
But science will never love you like I do
What brings you down to earth
Ah yes of course
Yes, yes, it was a lack of applause
Scrap metal for a fantastic bird
Fantastic bird
Science propels you
Science still engulfs you
But science will never love you like I do
Cause when you land
All do I hear is my voice
Welcome I love you, don't you see
Don't you see
