patti smith - birdland - alternate take كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
his father died and left him a small farm in new england
all the long black funeral cars left the scene
and the boy was just standing there alone
looking at the shiny red tractor
him and his daddy used to sit inside
and circle the blue fields and grease the night
it was as if someone had slipped b_tter
on all the fine points of the stars
’cause when he looked up they started to slip
then he put his head in the crux of his arms
and hе started to

[refrain]
drift, drift to the belly of a ship
thе ship slid open, and he went inside of it
and saw his daddy ‘hind the control boards
streaming jets of light
he saw his daddy ‘hind the control boards
and he was very different tonight
’cause he was not human
he was not human

[verse 2]
his little face lit up with such naked joy
that the sun burned white around his lids
his eyes were like two opals
and he saw everything just a little bit too clearly
there was no black funeral cars around, no black ship
nothing, he was alone
and so he fell on his knees and looked up and cried out, cried out
[refrain]
“no, daddy, don’t leave me here alone
take me up, daddy, to the belly of your ship
let the ship slide open and i’ll go inside of it
where you are not human
you are not human”

[verse 3]
but n0body heard the boy’s cry of alarm
n0body there except for the birds around the new england farm
and they scattered in all directions, like compass grass, like roses
and they came together like a black bouquet
shining feathers freeze over the boy in perfect formation
and he let his fists light up into the air
like mohammed boxer, and he said
“i won’t let up, won’t let up, won’t let up
won’t let up, won’t let up, ’til they take me up, take me by my fists”

[refrain]
“take me up, up, up, up
up, up, up, up
up, up, to the belly of the ship”
let the ship slide open and he went inside of it
and he was not human
up
[outro]

we like birdland
