"Excellent Birds" lyrics

"Excellent Birds"

Flying birds. Excellent birds. Watch them fly. There they go
Falling snow. Excellent snow. Here it comes. Watch it fall
Long words. Excellent words. I can hear them now
This is the picture
I'm sitting by the window. Watching the snow fall. I'm looking out
And I'm moving. Turning in time. Jump up!
And I can land on my feet. Look out! This is the picture
This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture

Looking out. I'm watching out. But when I see the future
I close my eyes. I can see it now
I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down
I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready!
I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down
I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready!

They're looking out. Look out! They're watching out. Watch out!
They're looking out. Look out!
They're watching out. Watching watching out

I see pictures of people. I see pictures of people
They're watching. They're watching out. Watch out
I see pictures of people. They're watching out. They're watching out
I see pictures of people. Watching. Watch out. They're watching
I see pictures of people. Watching out. Watch out
