Intro
F#
Spoken:
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second
F# B C# F# B C#
[Verse]
F# B C# F#
You see, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
B C# F# B C# F# B C#
Then they flap their wings at the last second
F# B C#
I can see their dead weight
F# B
Just dropping like stones
C# F# B C#
Or small loaves of bread
F# B C#
Past my window all the time
F# B C# F#
But unless I get up
B C#
Walk across the room
F# B C# F#
And peer down below
B C# F#
I
B C# F# B
Don't see their last-second curves
C# F# B
Toward a horizontal flight
C# F# B C# F# B C#
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
F# B C#
Now due to a construct in my mind
F# B C#
That makes their falling and their flight
F# B C# F# B
Symbolic of my entire existence
C# F# B C#
It becomes important for me
F# B
To get up and see
C# F# B C# F#
Their last-second curves toward flight
B C# F# B
It's almost as if my life would fall
C# F# B C#
Unless I see their ascent
[Chorus]
F# B C#
Mr. Mastodon Farm
F# B C#
Mr. Mastodon Farm
F# B C# F# B C#
Cuts swatches out of all material

[Verse 2]
F# B C# F#
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
B C# F# B C# F# B C#
Then they flap their wings at the last second
F# B C# F#
I said, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
F# B C# F#
But unless I get up
B C#
Walk across the room
F# B C# F#
And peer down below
B C# F#
I
B C# F# B
Won't see their last-second curves
C# F# B
Toward a horizontal flight
C# F# B C# F# B C#
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
F# B C#
Now due to a construct in my mind
F# B C#
That makes their falling and their flight
F# B C# F# B
Symbolic of my entire existence
C# F# B C#
It becomes important for me
F# B
To get up and see
C# F# B C# F#
Their last-second curves toward flight
B C# F# B C#
It's almost as if my life would fall
F#
My life would fall
B C# F# B C#
Unless I see their
F# B C# F# B C#
Ascent
