Little flightless metal birds   High above in limbless tree   Ring out into the atmosphere   Creating beauty inadvertently      It was a technological feat      This little bird      Wading through the market's waste   We locked eyes felt our lonliness abate   True desire showed its face, but only momentarily      Grey cascades in foreign waves   Wash the day away      I bought you from the dying woods of Brazil   This little bird   While the kids burned down the greenhouse pushed the   Charred frame into the landfill   Put his beak to the world   We bought new bodies we bought diamond encrusted guns   So who the hell are you?   Making out so high in the backseat of a car-bomb under carcinogenic sun      Grey cascades in foreign waves   Wash the day away   Grey cascades in foreign waves      We did believe in magic we did believe   We let our souls act as canaries   Our hearts gilded cages be      Watched a million dimming lanterns float out to sea   Lay your malady at the mouth of the death machine      Aeroplane odabo   ba mi ki won lo Odabo   Eko meji, o yo mi   O yo mi   O yo mi      Grey cascades in foreign waves   Wash the day away   Grey cascades in foreign waves
