Nightingales

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tell me: "Do Something true True of you and me" That we're too busy Living through Too busy to see What is it That we do Makes us what we are? If we sing are we Nightingales? Shine, are we stars? [Chorus 1] Who are we? What we got? Are we a firework show Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago? Stranger things have been Stranger things have gone I find it hard right now To name you one Tell me: "Do something true" And drop the fairytales If singin' birds must sing With no question of choice Then living is our song Indeed our voice Best agree, you and me We're probably nightingales [Harmonica solo: Stevie Wonder] [Chorus 2] Who are we? What we got? Are we a firework show? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been Stranger things have gone I find it hard right now To name you one Tell me: "Do something true" And drop the fairytales If singin' birds must sing With no question of choice Then living is our song Indeed our voice Best agree, you and me We're probably nightingales [Synth bridge] [Verse 2] God's a proud Thundercloud We are cartoon cats With a fear that is biblical Under our hats [Chorus 3] Who are we? What we got? Are we a firework show? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been Stranger things have gone I find it hard right now To name you one Tell me do something true And drop the fairytales If singin' birds must sing With no question of choice Then living is our song Indeed our voice Best agree, you and me We're only nightingales [Harmonica outro: Stevie Wonder]
