Bye bye blackbird, days are getting cold Snakes and lizards are sucking up the gold Chrome-Plated plastic they give you in return And teach you a lesson you shouldn't have to learn
Bye bye blackbird Bye bye blackbird
I remember now who I was supposed to be Oh, but how do you get an octopus up a tree Up a tree
Bye bye blackbird, time to leave the nest The sun is overhead on its way out west Follow that sun to a blood-red sea And sleep in the arms of a coconut tree
Bye bye blackbird Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird, fly into the sun The money's all gone and your time is done Suddenly awake in the middle of the night Cover up my head with a blanket of light
Bye bye blackbird Bye bye blackbird
I've got no time to drop LSD I guess I've still got time for DMT DMT
