Unglued

and he's on the roof
poised unglued
the flight ahead
he's on the roof
he smiles unmoved
he holds his breath
and lifts his head
and spreads his wings

it's not far now
i found the sure way
to the ground

he's off the roof
he came unglued
he turns his head
and he's off the roof
he came unglued
he's thrilled to death

it's not far now
i found the sure way
to the ground
to the ground
he's coming down

his feathers melt away
the sun was out today
his feathers melt away
but he seemed quite ok
his feathers melt away
we've all seen better days
