about

This 7 minute long rock ballad follows a bird of paradise on a habitual quest for romance gone wrong. Decisions in love must be made in the face of human induced violence, and everybody here is at fault.

“There’s a man with a plan, and a gun in his hand, and the barrel as it stands is pointed at you. If there’s any shadow of a doubt, about me now, well, it’s your life to lose.”

Is there such a thing as love at first flight?

lyrics

What it is
Like a bird of paradise

Take a trip
Take a trip
Do a dip
And a flip
To a place you know you’ll like

It’s a place you can go
Where the snow never shows
And everyone is so polite

Take a chance
Do a dance
When you land
In the sand
Spread your wings
Open your mind

Never in my life
Did I think I’d find
Someone as kind
and lovely as you

I’ve flown around the world
But never found a bird, or a girl
That could shake me funky as you

There’s a man
With a plan
And a gun in his hand
And the barrel as it stands
Is pointed at you

If there’s any shadow of a doubt
About me now
It’s your life to lose

La la la la la
