Album: American Gong
Bye bye blackbird
Days are getting cold
Snakes and lizards are sucking up the gold
Chrome-plated plastic they give you in return
To teach you a lesson you shouldn't have to learn
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
I remember now who I was suppose to be
Oh, but how do you get an octopus up a tree?
Up a tree
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Bye bye blackbird
Time to leave the nest
The sun is overhead on it's way out west
Follow that sun to a blood red sea
And sleep in the arms of a coconut tree
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
Fly into the sun
The money's all gone and your time is done
Suddenly awake in the middle of the night
Cover up my head with a blanket of light
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
I got no time to drop L.S.D
I guess I still got time for D.M.T
D.M.T
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
