[Verse 1]
G
I flirt with Brancusi's gesture
Am
I'm a bird in space
D G
As his ghost escorts me to a magic place
G Am
I'm dressed all in colours, neither white nor black
D G
Ask the begged question, need I come back
[Chorus]
G Am
I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
G
How I long to be
G Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
G
How I long to be
Am G
How I long to be
[Verse 2]
G Am
Sing on Olympus Mons so all the world can see
D G
Perfection in my structure, I have all I need
G Am
There's not a single stain on my song tonight
D G
When time is endless and I'm always right
[Chorus]
G Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
G
How I long to be
G Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
G
How I long to be
Am G
How I long to be
[Chorus]
G Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
G
How I long to be
G Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
[Outro]
G
How I long to be
Am G
How I long to be
Am G
How I long to be
