About a Bird In an Airport Terminal

There’s a bullfinch in the terminal

On the wrong side of the glass

I take my shoes off at security

And I half-hope I don’t get past

‘Cause I’ve been trying to get some distance

Between your world and mine

And it’s a path of some resistance

I’m not free just because I’m flying

And I swore when I left you last time

It was the last time I’d ever leave

If I soared right out of the atmosphere

You’d still have a hold on me

I board when they call the number

‘Cause I know where I need to be

If I change my mind I can always find you

Left of the devil, right of the deep blue sea

Right of the deep blue sea

If I ever (there’s a bird in the terminal) take the low road (and he’s never getting out of here)

WI know I’ll meet you there

And you’re gonna pull me

(I’m gonna make it the airport again)

Into the bathroom

(There’s the guys at security)

And we’ll trade that diamond stare

So, I check my pockets

(Gonna get a little distance)

For any evidence

(Gotta get away from company)

I want to leave without a trace

And the destination?

(I’m feeling the resistance)

It hardly matters

(Anywhere I ever run to)

I’m gonna find you in every place

And I swore when I left you last time

It was the last time I’d ever leave

If I soared right out of the atmosphere

You’d still have a hold on me

I board when they call the number

‘Cause I know where I need to be

If I change my mind I can always find you

Left of the devil, right of the deep blue sea

Right of the deep blue sea

And I swore when I left you last time

It was the last time I’d ever leave

If I soared right out of here

You’d still have a hold on me

I board when they call the number

‘Cause I know where I need to be

If I change my mind I can always find you

Left of the devil, right of the deep blue sea

Right of the deep blue sea
