Funnybird Song - Carla Bley

If God had intended me

To describe these birds so

Would he have given them wings?

God intended them to be described

Who’s watching wings?

It was not intended

I be given wings

And in return for them

I have promised God

Never to describe

Him

He is a funny bird

Feathering nests

With him

Wrung from intention

To know him

Aw

But then

I’m a funny bird too

I like to flock a lot

I like to flock a lot
