Bird’s Eye View Lyrics by Flatland Cavalry
She took the middle seat
Introduced herself to me
Said, “When we’re ten-thousand feet, I’m buying.”
“Get me off the ground
I prefer looking down
Like a bird heaven-bound
I love flying.”
“A little buzz will get your mind off the crash.”
From some chairs in the sky we both laugh
It’s a wonder we all get where we’re going
Right where we’re meant to be
Even when it’s hard to see
Half the fun of it all’s not knowing
So, take a drink, have a laugh
Make some good from the bad
Enjoy the ride while you’re passing through
There’s something ’bout the girl
And the way she sees the world
A beautiful bird’s-eye view
“Do you ever think about
How they’ve got it figured out?
Floating ’round the clouds like a daydream.”
“With their freedom and their wings
Always got a song to sing
When I reach the other side
I could be one
And fly back home
When I’m done with all this leaving.”
It’s a wonder we all get where we’re going
Right where we’re meant to be
Even when it’s hard to see
Half the fun of it all’s not knowing
So, take a drink, have a laugh
Make some good from the bad
Enjoy the ride while you’re passing through
There’s something bout the girl
And the way she sees the world
A beautiful bird’s-eye view
It’s a wonder we all get where we’re going
Right where we’re meant to be
Even when it’s hard to see
Half the fun of it all’s not knowing
So, take a drink, have a laugh
Make some good from the bad
Enjoy the ride while you’re passing through
There’s something bout the girl
And the way she sees the world
A beautiful bird’s-eye view
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Flyin’ *** is worth the fall
To learn to see it all
Through a beautiful bird’s eye view
