Written by: Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley. . Bird flyin' high. You know how I feel. Sun in the sky. You know how I feel. Breeze drifting by. You know how I feel..
I saw you there. All I wanted was to start with you. Was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Till I made you care. . Yo, brother. You sure heard me. Banging on the big drums for your love.
I never thought that I could. Crush upon your sandy shores. And like the feeling of your warm security. It's not like me. . Now I come with strange excitement.
I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place. You've launched a secret heart with your face. You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me.
That old dog has chained you up alright. Give you everything you need. To live inside a twisted cage. Sleep beside an empty rage. I had a dream, I was your hero.
Carry me. Carry me. . Do you love your mother. The way I love mine. Expecting nothing of her. 'Cause she was changing all the time. . I couldn't take my mother.
You, poor you. Playin' too long. But you're still not groovin'. I see you runnin'. But I see you ain't movin'. . Me, pitiful me. I sleep with both eyes open.
Blue you're always dancing in my hand. The way you toss your hips and things you've said. (Moving like an angel). Gazing out my window on the bus. (On Washington Square).
I'm so hot, that's my attitude today. I'm like a movie-star, hey-hey-hey. I cross the street, will I be the same when I hit the other site ?. Better look both ways, never know what hits you when sex is on your mind.
I lied. I stole in the name of fear. But I won't be silent here. . I don't want somewhere to run to. I don't want somebody I can shake. Lord I want my dignity again.
Are you alright? Is there a light?. Can you still hear me? Where you are?. Are you so fine. That you can slip between the lines?. . You're such a beautiful, beautiful girl.
Oh I never knew. I was unkind 'til I met you. So how can I believe. You will suffer with me?. If I should ask you to. . Bare the weight of me. Bottom, belly, legs, chest, hands, feet, face of me.
It felt like spring time on this February morning. In a courtyard birds were singing your praise. I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright.

You didn't chose me. You left me for the dark hearted one. Your shadow is bigger than your sun. I thought we were one. . You didn't hear me. You listened to those beautiful lies.
Not 'cause you're older or 'cause you're better. Although you're older and you're better. Yes it's truly thrilling. But also 'cause you just let me love you.
I want your hand across my belly. I want your breasts upon my back. I want your pain to rip right through me. I am your death, you are my wrath. . Ill take your hand beyond the threshold.
Dress it up, dress it down. as long as you are dressed in all black. in my city that's the only color on the rack. yeah cause in my city there's dark hearts all night long.
