Tragically Hip - Leave

^D'Do you mean the attack is routine'' A ^Ebird asked of a ^Bbird 'In ^Dthis context, a concave nest, ^EHow do we learn to ^Bhurt''

^D'Do you mean there's no variation'' Watching ^Ea dog charge a ^Bflock of ^Dbirds Exploding in congregation ^E'Why plan; when we ^Bstop''

^D'I dunno... but why suppose It's ^Enot the way it should ^Bbe' When you can^D fly above The great waiting list,' As the ^Ecrow implies, 'We ^Bwon't be missed, We can ^Dleave.' ^E

^AIt's a routine flight for this bird tonight There's more worms than earth in the afterlife Where the blind feed the blind, Whispering things like '^F#mOn the money' ^Gand 'Bullseye' ^AShe picks up the little leaves Where human wrecks are left to seed Left to repaint their deities And ^F#mplaster away at the^Gir villainies

Where there's ^Elove, there'^Bs hope 'And do ^Dyou hope those earthbound poets Could ^Elearn to sing as good as ^Bus' ^DSo we can sit back and en^Ejoy our illusions ^BAnd our quietus'' 'Well ^DI don't know... but why suppose It's ^Enot the way it should ^Bbe' When you can ^Dsquawk And wait for word from above And ^Echange yourself into ^Bsomething you love When you ^Dleave'' ^E
