lyrics

Bald Eagle

The rocket’s red glare
Is bound to singe your hair
Leave you lookin’ bald
I’m one who knows this all too well
Oh well, my youthful looks
Have gone to Hell

I once had a haram
I’d screw ‘em then I’d scare em
Scare them all away
While I over sang my song
of freedom and liberty
All goddamn day

Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine

These empty nest blues stink of unpaid dues
I’m a lazy man I’ll admit
But I’ll eat any rat who’s willing to repeat
What I just lost out of my beak

I speak the truth, but only to myself
I had a chance to rule
To be a symbol of strength
But I screwed it all away
Then just flew back here to stay

Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine

So, this bird has landed
My wing’s done been expanded
Extended and stretched
Soaring a bit closer to death

And day by day I live my life the same old way
Some say that’s okay
But some of them have passed away
And this opinion
Seems to be on its way
Out

Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
