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

Cuts swatches out of all material

[Verse 2]
B E F# B
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
E F# B E F# B E F#
Then they flap their wings at the last second
B E F# B
I said, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
B E F# B
But unless I get up
E F#
Walk across the room
B E F# B
And peer down below

I

Won't see their last-second curves
