HIS NAME IS BILL
"Birds" (with Dodie Clark)
I don't want to drive a fancy car today I don't wanna ride in a red corvette I don't wanna jog my Saturday away But I don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane I don't wanna parasail or play roulette I don't wanna risk it all or go insane But I don't wanna go home yet
I just wanna watch the birds go by From my handy foldable blue canvas throne I wanna watch them fly and fly And see them soar up into the unknown
But I feel just like a nerd Watching birds Watching me here all alone
I don't wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone I don't wanna rollerskate even if it's slow I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field I'm not up for a match of polo I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed I'm also not up for waterpolo
I just wanna watch the birds up there Track the migratory patterns that they've flown I wanna watch them from my chair With my binoculars, my latte, and my phone
Trying to spot a lark In the park Parked in nature all alone
Alone here with the doves And the sparrows, and the ospreys The owlets, the egrets, and my list
It's just me and Mr. Finch The robins, the king fishers, the snipes Though I heard they don't exist
Each little specie In its little way can teach me what awaits you If you can get away I wanna watch The birds do what they will
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing Quiet, calm, still Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly In the sky I just wanna be alone
