Black and Blue Bird

If I could fly at the speed of light I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years Butterflies and black and blue birds I'll never be the same since I met you girl Pennies thrown into a fountain Make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath God is troubling when you consider Believers that would welcome the end of the world Got a job and it pays me I want love more than I deserve I read the paper, makes me crazy Gotta be a way to make it work, oh Ashes, stardust Look at us, climbing out the mud Let's go, 'round the block We'll make the most, before the jig is up Dreamers, the big top High wires, the circus never stop Ashes, stardust Look at you, crawling out the mud I know that dying is scary to us But everybody do it, one, two, three On the sidewalk, the dandelion is reaching from a crack up to the sun Words can be a wicked tool For twisting truth I wanna be true to you Blood and bones, black holes and stones All those things paved the way for you and me Got a job and it pays me I want love more than I deserve The headlines, they make me crazy Gotta be a way to make it work, 'cause Ashes, stardust Look at us crawling out the mud Let's go around the block We'll make the most before the jig is up Campfire, high rise You never did quite know when to stop Ashes, stardust Look at me crawling out the mud Butterflies and black and blue birds I'll never be the same since I met you If I could fly at the speed of light I could get to Betelgeuse in about 600 years Butterflies and black and blue birds
