Mockingbird, wish me well Your pedestal, is great with questions Mockingbird, whats the choice Settle down, give up the noise I could find a girl, though to me she's found Give up my life, I guess I could settle down But mockingbird, black in the night Do I dare I go running towards the blinding lights How much guilt will follow, or regret in my mind If in a metal space device, I could leave the world behind And everybody'd watch, as I go flying by They shout to me to come back down but I would rather die High that I could fly, and far that I'd traverse Breaking through the atmosphere, I take the universe I'll conquer every mountain, feel the wind on open palms I open up my hands and mind and smile with an open jaw And when I miss my parents on a floating chunk of ice I'll write words until the day is done to taste my old life twice I'd entertain the idea of the girl I found on earth Out here is all so wonderful, but I'd rather be with her Mockingbird Do you think, she could take these chains With the other end stuck in my chest Stuck in my chest Mockingbird Do you think, she can take these chains With the other end stuck in my chest Stuck in my chest
