Anderson Ian Pigeon Flying Over Berlin Zoo Lyrics

Pigeon Flying Over Berlin Zoo Lyrics

I’m thinking free - like the bird

flying over, over the animals 

in
the zoo. How do you do? 

What’s it like to be in there? Think about it.




You’re locked behind wires.

Safe and warm - under house
arrest protection 

from the wild, wild storm and tempest 

raging
here on the outside. Think about it.



Pigeon I. Pigeon toed. 

I’m pigeon-friendly as pigeons go. 

Pigeon lonely. Pigeon English. 

What’s it like to be in there? Think about it.



Harsh spaces.
Empty freedom. 

Scary concept. Wrong side of the window. 

Which one
of us will wake imprisoned 

come tomorrow? Think about it.



Give it due consideration. 

Weigh it up. Kiss me quickly.

Pigeon
friendly. Let me in there

to be with you. Mull it over. (Think about it.)
