Whirlybird

lyrics

hey there helicopter
stop that hovering around
got your head up in the clouds
and your feet don't touch the ground

it's busy in this city
no time to see your friends
you're trying to strike a balance
you're working at weekends

i hear you talk so tired
like today was too tough
but if you come a little closer
i'll call tomorrow off

hey there helicopter
stop that hovering around
got your head up in the clouds
and your feet don't touch the ground

it's freezing in this city
you don't know what to wear
too cold to follow fashion
far too cold to care

they sent you to the exit
and your body got lost
but if you come a little closer
i think you'll defrost

hey there helicopter
stop that hovering around
got your head up in the clouds
and your feet don't touch the ground

you want to live in nyc
like everybody else
but your green card is blue
and columbus got there first

with your travelling soul
and your wondering mind
oh whirlybird
won't you land by my side?

hey there helicopter
stop that hovering around
got your head up in the clouds
and your feet don't touch the ground

it's lonely in this city
even when you call it home
so many people
you feel so alone

you want to stand out
there's a very long queue
but if you come a little closer
i'll notice you

hey there helicopter
stop that hovering around
