Black and Bluebird (Lyrics)

If I could fly the speed of light
I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years

Butterflies and black and blue birds
I'll never be the same since I bet you girl

Pennies thrown into a fountain
Make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath

God is troubling when you consider
Believers that would welcome
The end of the world

I got a job and it pays me
I want love more than I deserve
I read the paper it makes me crazy
Gotta be a way to make it work

Ashes, stardust
Look at us climbin' out the mud
Let's go round the block
We'll make the most before the jig is up
Dreamers, the big top, high wires
The circus never stop
Ashes, stardust
Look at you crawling out the mud

I know that dyin' is scary to us
But everybody do it
One, two, three

On the sidewalk
A dandelion is reaching
From a crack up to the sun

Words can be a wicked tool
For twisting the truth
I want to be true to you

Blood and bones
Black holes and stones
All those things paved the way for you and me

Got a job and it pays me
I want love more than I deserve
The headlines they make me crazy
Gotta be a way to make it work

Ashes, stardust
Look at us crawling out the mud
Let's go around the block
We make the most before the jig is up
Campfire, high rise
We never did quite know when to stop
Ashes, stardust
Look at me crawling out the mud

Butterflies and black and blue birds
I'll never be the same since I met you
If I could fly the speed of light
I'd get to Betelgeuse
In about six hundred years
Butterflies and black and blue birds
