This Bird Lyrics by Flashlight Brown

Flashlight Brown

[Verse 1: Matt Hughes]
Taxi to the runway as the evening turns to night
It's several minutes past the chance to dodge this dire flight
The engines both look ancient and the wings are swathed in rust
I should have stayed at home or took the midnight shuttle bus

[Verse 2: Matt Hughes]
When the hell's the steward going to bring around a drink?
This lack of ammunition gives me too much time to think
I'll down the airline champagne and I'll juice up on some gin
I'll be too blind to worry when the fuselage caves in

[Chorus: Matt Hughes]
And now I know that I'm going to seem extreme
This bird's going down
Don't want to cry or to have to make a scene
This bird's going down

[Verse 3: Matt Hughes]
The beast is leaping up and down I think I'm going to crack
Like Terminator, my insipid dinner's coming back
The further out we go, the mortal danger only grows
I've got to stop myself from watching air disaster shows

[Chorus: Matt Hughes]
And now I know that I'm going to seem extreme
This bird's going down
Don't want to cry or to have to make a scene
This bird's going down

[Bridge: Fil Bucchino]
Into a swamp, into a bridge
Into an ocean where fishies meet
What a tasty treat
With pilot error or the weather
Or mechanics leaving checklists incomplete
Into a mountain or a forest
Or a schoolyard where the kids all play
What a tragic day
A fundamentalist with suitcase
Full of bombs prepared to blow this flight away

[Outro: Matt Hughes]
And now I know that I'm going to seem extreme
This bird's going down
This bird's going down
This bird's going
