Wet Birds Fly At Night Songtext
von Eric Von Schmidt

Give me an introduction, sir

Walkin′ along one day feeling out of place
Just like I was in somebody else's face
Feeling like a loser in the whole human race

No grace

Because now
Is just for a moment
And in it
The moment is there
Where forever is, is now and will be
While never, comes again and again

Now one day when my momma said why did I hate her
I sold my worldly goods and I hopped on a freighter
And I sailed out across the old waiter
See you later!


Because is
Is just for an instant
And in it
Instant it was, you know it was
You made me wanna grab a rock
Smash up the clock
Rip it off the wall
For the beastly harm that it does

Well now when we got to Yama-yamas
I sent a postcard to my mom and I climbed up the mountain
Relivin′ every trauma
I said "what's the secret of existence, Dalai Lama?"

He was wearing pink pajamas

And he said
Wet bird, don't fly at night
Wet bird, don′t fly at night
Wet bird, don′t fly at night
Yeah, wet bird, hey don't fly at night

Well I jumped right up and I was feeling all uptight
I said: Your pink pajamas, they may be out of sight
But any fool knows that wet birds fly at night!
Right?

And the old man started to sob with the sound of one-tooth
Flapping and said
You mean wet bird, fly at night?
Wet bird, fly at night?


I said, yeah
Wet bird, fly at night
Birds that are wet, fly at night

Wet bird, fly at night

Now I wear pink pajamas and that′s the end of my story
Cause in that very moment I gained sweet satori
So if you climb that mountain with your heart palpitating

I'll be waiting
