Bluebird

Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
Knows only crying
Just crying, yeah

There she sits, aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you
Just you, yeah

So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
Each one different than you, you just know
You sit there mesmerized by the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize, she's got soul
She's got soul
She's got soul
She's got soul

Do you think
She loves you?
Do you think
At all?

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

Think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?

What a field day for the heat
There's a thousand people in the street
Singing songs and they carrying signs
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side"

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and then take you away

You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?
Stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?

Stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody, look, what's going down?
