The sun above me
And a concrete floor below
Scratch at the chain links
Maybe bare my teeth for show
Fed twice a day
I don't go hungry anymore
Feel in my bones
Just what the future has in store
I pace in circles
So the camera will see
Look hard at my stripes
There'll be no more after me
Laze by the shoreline
While the sailors disembark
Scratch out a place
To sit and rest down in the dark
Smell something burning
Downwind just a little ways
They set up camp
And sing and sweat and work for days
I have no fear of anyone
I'm dumb and wild and free
I am a flightless bird
And there'll be no more after me
In Costa Rica
In a burrow underground
Climb to the surface
Blink my eyes and look around
I'm all alone here
As I try my tiny song
Claim my place beneath the sky
But i won't be here for long
I sang all night
The moon shone on me through the trees
No brothers left
And there'll be no more after me
And a concrete floor below
Scratch at the chain links
Maybe bare my teeth for show
Fed twice a day
I don't go hungry anymore
Feel in my bones
Just what the future has in store
I pace in circles
So the camera will see
Look hard at my stripes
There'll be no more after me
Laze by the shoreline
While the sailors disembark
Scratch out a place
To sit and rest down in the dark
Smell something burning
Downwind just a little ways
They set up camp
And sing and sweat and work for days
I have no fear of anyone
I'm dumb and wild and free
I am a flightless bird
And there'll be no more after me
In Costa Rica
In a burrow underground
Climb to the surface
Blink my eyes and look around
I'm all alone here
As I try my tiny song
Claim my place beneath the sky
But i won't be here for long
I sang all night
The moon shone on me through the trees
No brothers left
And there'll be no more after me
