Blackbird

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's black and red and built just like a spy plane Extracting information from my mind The photographs she take save to a mainframe For your eyes only lonely cold war time (of mine) [Pre-Chorus 1] Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From your perch you softly smiled My Blackbird softly smiled [Verse 2] She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets Stark and dark against enemy skies From miles above the earth no one can detect her My blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind (goodbye) [Pre-Chorus 2] And all this time there is no crime of treason that she hasn't seen [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From your perch you softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled [Bridge] SR-71 Blackbird from the hell above She's the only one Only spy I ever loved She's the only spy I ever loved [Pre-Chorus] Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does [Chorus] Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From your perch you softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled [Outro] (Whoa) (Whoa) SR-71 Blackbird from the hell above She's the only one Only spy I ever loved
