there's far too many ghosts   it makes us rely on three notes   that could make you weep, sad notes   that blister in your heart   I hope   and don't I know   don't I realize what's changing in our brains   and how it soothes   because its better than the truth   the truth is frayed at the edge and bruised   no use anymore      we could be crawling this time   we should be smiling this time   I see no spooks in you      thunderbird, can you see yourself, big bird   thunderbird, just speak it more discreetly   you're making it sound absurd      now our dreams   they flower in our hearts it seems   and don't I know   don't I realize what's changing in our brains   and how it soothes   because it's better than the truth   the truth is frayed at the edge and bruised      we could be crawling this time   we should be smiling this time   I see no spooks in you, you, you      thunderbird, can you see yourself, big bird   thunderbird, just speak it more discreetly   you're making it sound absurd   you're making it sound absurd   you're making it sound absurd
