Lyrics

[00:08.14] Walking round Chicago,
[00:10.52] I have smuggled you as cargo,
[00:14.33] though you are far away unknowing.
[00:19.28]
[00:20.90] By the time we get to Salt Lake
[00:24.28] I have packed you in my suitcase,
[00:27.77] ironed the creases from my own remembering.
[00:33.22]
[00:34.69] She said Bird, why?
[00:46.17]
[00:48.98] We wound our way to Texas
[00:52.16] and I summoned remote hexes
[00:55.80] and I sent them across dust and oceans.
[01:02.61]
[01:03.47] In Phoenix, Arizona I had the notion
[01:08.18] I might phone you,
[01:10.56] but there it lived and died, a notion.
[01:15.73]
[01:17.16] She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?
[01:44.02]
[01:46.62] Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.
[02:04.38]
[02:14.91] We came up on Ohio,
[02:17.70] I have you chewed on like a biro.
[02:21.38] You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering.
[02:28.52]
[02:29.20] We came to Minneapolis,
[02:32.35] all fizzy blood and twitchy fists.
[02:36.69] I buried you in a day of snowing.
[02:41.20]
[02:43.50] She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?
[03:11.51]
[03:13.15] Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.
[03:27.85] Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.
