lyrics

5 Starlings...

Peaches fell down
All around my feet
Crushing the beautiful grass
With all their glory
A rope ladder hung down
From the tree but I
Could not climb it 'cause
No one had teach'd me

And I turned around when
5 starlings began singing
'Show me the way to San José'
I pretended this wasn't startling
By joining in with a chorus
Of San José

I checked your big fat hairy mole
I checked your wintergreen kilner store
I learned to fix your squeaky tap
And I learned the curse to ruin your DNA map

I am the engineer of 5 starlings
That I will have sing for you
'Show me the way to San José'
But even if you hit the ground
With your fastest running
The tabloid will still stay its
5000 miles to San José

Stupid little birds were in the wrong key
Stupid little birds were in the wrong key

Come back birds, will you forgive
Come back birds, I am on my knees
Come back birds, flying with the breeze
Come back birds, human don't tease
