Valley of the Birds The Stranglers

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a thousand times in the Viet war
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances
Into the valley like a bird, absurd

I know I'd tempted fate a thousand times before
So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances
And had a flight for the brother who can't be

Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get me
Face tanned, it's beautiful, we're beautiful
We're flying in the valley of the birds (fly)

So without a sense of reason we explored like
Like throwing stones into the great unknown, like

Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get me
Face tanned, it's beautiful, we're beautiful
We're flying in the valley of the birds (fly)

It's beautiful, we're beautiful
We're flying in the valley of the
Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get me
Face tanned, it's beautiful, we're beautiful
We're flying in the valley of the birds (fly)
Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get me
Face tanned, it's beautiful, we're beautiful
We're flying, flying in the valley of the birds
