Bye Bye Blackbird - Quasi

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
