Strange Bird

Jimmy Buffett

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 the rest

God only knows where the strange

bird goes when he's flyin'

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 the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird



His only home is in the skies

Slicing through the cloudy pie

Above the whole Caribbean

Moves the swift amphibian



CHORUS



Strange bird from a different nest

Flying low not like all the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name 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



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 the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

If you can't see him you can't claim him

If you can't see him, you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

Wings on his heart, 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
