Excellent Birds lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson]
Flying birds. Excellent birds
Watch them fly. There they go
Falling snow. Excellent snow
Here it comes. Watch it fall
Long words. Excellent words
I can hear them now
This is the picture

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
I'm sitting by the window
Watching the snow fall
I'm looking out
And I'm moving, turning in time
Jump up!
And I can land on my feet
Look out!
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture

[Verse 3: Laurie Anderson]
Looking out
I'm watching out
When I see the future I close my eyes
I can see it now
[Verse 4: Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson]
I see pictures of people
Rising up
I see pictures of people
Falling down
I see pictures of people
They're standing on their heads
They're ready!

[Verse 5: Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson]
They're looking out
Look out!
They're watching out
Watch out!
They're looking out
Look out!
They're watching out
Watching watching out

[Verse 6: Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson]
I see pictures of people
They're watching
I see pictures of people
They're watching out
Watch out
I see pictures of people
They're watching out
They're watching out
I see pictures of people
Watching
Watch out
They're watching
I see pictures of people
Watching out. Watch out
