That girl is a strange bird
That fell from the clouds, born on a different planet.
That girl is a strange bird
She bears a sorrow in her laugh and a well kept secret
And she knows what she knows
She knows to keep her secret
For she knows that those that know will pay with loneliness
The skies can open, the rain may fall
She can dance in a sunny shower in a place where no one sees
She can find everything simple in a place she herself chose
But when she meets the eyes of others, the beauty always ends.
That girl she is awake at night
The night is precious for then she is alone and strong
She knocks on her own door then
If the door is open and unlocked towards untouched ground.
She laughs by herself, so lascivious and comfortable
And she steps into something
People would say, she was dreaming
But nothing could be more real, nothing more true
There exists a place where not everyone must think alike
And she can find everything simple in a place she herself chose
But when she meets the eyes of others the beauty always ends
That girl is a strange bird
Wing clipped and wounded, but impossible to cage
That girl is a strange bird
She sings only the song she can call her own.
And it was as though she flew
Against a window pane
Beaten she fell down in her own worlds ecstasy
But nothing could be more real, nothing more true
There exists a place where not everyone must think alike
And she can find everything simple in a place she herself chose
But when she meets the eyes of others the beauty always ends.
The skies can open, the rain may fall
She can dance in a sunny shower in a place where no one sees
She can find everything simple in a place she herself chose
But when she meets the eyes of others, the beauty always ends.
That girl is a strange bird.
