Jean The Birdman by David Sylvian


He gambles on the saddle

He's pulling on the mane

He thrashes on the horse's back

Ambition is a bloody gameHorse doesn't want to jump

The river looks too wide

Well he faces every hurdle

With a nervous state of mind"stay with me breathe deeply

Take three passes back

Turn and make a full attack"The gods are laughing

And they're tugging at the reins

But he's taken to his wings

And they hit the bankHeaven may stone him

But jean the birdman pulls it offHis finger's on the trigger

His eye is on the clock

He doesn't give the game away

And quickly fires the bullets offSix hearts cut short

Still dreaming they're alive

Blown 'round in dusty circles

Like an absent state of mindWho hunter? who victim?

God love america

He surely doesn't love himHitching out of nowhere

Lines of traffic knee deep

A chance to stave the morning off

And get some sleepHeaven may stone him

But jean the birdman pulls it offHe wears a crucifix

His mother left to him

It's wrapped in chains around his heart

Rusted and wafer thin"don't count on luck son"

All the angels sing

"don't need to check a weathervane

We all know what tomorrow brings"Life is a cattle farm

Coyotes with the mules

Life is a bullring

For taking risks and flouting rulesWho needs a safety net

The world is open wide

Just look out for card sharks

And the danger signsHeaven may stone him

But jean the birdman pulls it off
