Lyric Strange Bird
Strange Bird
By: Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver
1989
Half fast and seldom seen
He don t blip the radar screen
On the deck below the dune
Under the commander s moon
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
God only knows where the strange bird goes when he s flying
Everybody s trying to find him
But they don t know where to start
The ornithologist lady says that he has wings on his heart
Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
If you can t catch him you can t name him
If you can t see him you can t claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he s a strange bird
Frequent flyer, seldom seen
High above the Caribbean
In my day I ve met a few but he s the strangest bird that s true
Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
If you can t catch him you can t name him
If you can t see him you can t claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he s a strange bird
But he s in love with the lady of the waters
And she lives somewhere up around Cheauxvan
He s gonna circle high above her runway of love
Until she gives him her permission to land
Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of the rest
If you can t catch him you can t name him
If you can t see him you can t claim him
Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down
Wings on his heart, he s a strange bird
Watch out girl, he s a strange bird
Strange bird flying low
Cross the Gulf of Mexico
Strange bird not like all the rest
Watch out girl he s a strange bird
Shoot you down, he s a strange bird
It s a bird, it s a plane, it s a strange bird
