Blackbird Lyrics

Blackbird - Alkaline Trio

Lyrics by:Daniel Andriano/Derek Grant/Matt Skiba

 

She's black and red and built just like a spy plane

 

Extracting information from my mind

 

The photographs she takes save to a mainframe

 

For your eyes only lonely cold war time of mine

 

Now after all the city falls just

Like the night or an angel does

Leave me here alone to collect my things

She sees music in the terror she brings

 

And like a Technicolor dream

The light in your eyes blinded me

From your perch you softly smiled

My Blackbird softly smiled

 

She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets

 

Stark and dark against enemy skies

 

From miles above the earth no one can detect her

 

My Blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind goodbye

And all this time there is no crime

Of treason that she hasn't seen

Leave me here alone to collect my things

She sees music in the terror she brings

 

And like a Technicolor dream

The light in your eyes blinded me

From your perch you softly smiled

My Blackbird softly smiled

 

SR 71 Blackbird from the hell above

She's the only one

Only spy I ever loved

 

She's the only spy I ever loved

Now after all the city falls just

Like the night or an angel does

Leave me here alone to collect my things

She sees music in the terror she brings

 

And like a Technicolor dream

The light in your eyes blinded me

From your perch you softly smiled

My Blackbird softly smiled

 

SR 71 Blackbird from the hell above

She's the only one

 

Only spy I ever loved
