about

Written in April 2019. The character gets a visit from a strange bird with a PHD in Chemistry. Naturally, everyone and everything is magnetically drawn to this strange and beautiful bird-- This man is no different--instantly smitten and holding on for dear life, knowing its just a matter of time until it's time for her to fly. "Do it again and again, I'd have you anytime".

lyrics

She’s a strange bird with a P.H.D. in chemistry
Hangs around in any crowd, she don’t care
She’s a fixer -- always got the remedy
To get you oh so high

Hey
Wait
Don’t leave me on the line

Hey
Everybody’s talking now
Wait
What’s the story anyhow
Is it time to fly?

Nobody said it was gonna be easy
Nobody said it wasn’t worth the time
Do it again and again, I’d have you anytime

He’s a weird cat, bouncing like a basketball
Overfilled and splitting at the seam
He’s a bad fish, drowns himself in alcohol
She’s as good as gone

Hey
Wait
Don’t hang me out to dry

Hey
Everybody’s talkin’ now
Wait
What’s the story any how
Are you satisfied?

Take what you need but don’t be greedy
Take what you need and say goodbye
Then do it again, and again, I’d have you anytime

She’s a free bird, swimming through the air
Paints the town don’t give a fuck all the time
Like a rag doll tossed aside
She don’t need you now

Hey
Wait
Don’t hang me out to dry

Hey
Everybody’s talking now
Wait
What’s the story anyhow
Is it time to fly?

No one ever said it was gonna be easy
No one ever said it wasn’t worth the time
Do it again and again, I’d have you anytime...
