Thee Silver Mt. Zion I Built Myself A Metal Bird lyrics

I Built myself a metal bird
I fed my metal bird
The wings of other metal birds

And oh, how my baby flew
With heart so high and aim so true
Up to the roof and into the sky
Dumb as fire and twice as wise

Did you see that star go out
I seen it burn
Did you see that star go out
I seen it burn

That little star went out,
Your little eyes went out
That little star went out
Your little eyes went out

Our burnt little dreams are hid

Up where the stars get lit
Our burnt little dreams are hid
Up where the stars get lit

Now-time's the right time
Let’s lay those demons down
Our side's the right side
let's lay those demons down

We're virtueless in the white smoke
Virtueless in the white smoke
Virtueless in the white smoke
Virtueless in the white smoke

White smoke
White smoke
White
