Ray decided to be silly after all,
   D#m                          G#
He died a thousand times in the Viet war,
D#m                              G#
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances,
F#                    G#
Into the valley of the bird absurd,

D#m                               G#
I don't remember what it was the old man said,
   D#m                             G#
I know I'd tempted fate a thousand times before,
D#m                                G#
So we strapped ourselves in and we took some chances,
F#                      G#
And had a fight for the brother who can be,

D#m   G#
Birdman,
                D#m      G#
Looking for the waste land,
              D#m      G#
Try'na get me face tanned,
                      F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
                         G#
We're flying through the valley of the birds,

D#m                        G#
We decided all for all and all for one,
    D#m                      G#
And when I do I really wanna go in style,
D#m                          G#
So without a sense of reason we explored life,
F#                           G#
Like throwing stoned into the great unknown of

D#m   G#
Birdman,
                D#m      G#
Looking for the waste land,
              D#m      G#
Try'na get me face tanned,
                      F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
                         G#
We're flying through the valley of the birds.
