Sovay
Andrew Bird
I was getting ready to be a threat
I was getting set for my
Accidental suicide
Because no one dies
No one looks too surprised
Then you, and then you realize you're riding on the Paris success
With this heavy-handed metaphor
And it feels like you've been here before
'Cause you've been here before
And you've been here before
And then word washed ashore
Then word washed ashore
Then word washed ashore
Sovay, Sovay, Sovay
All along the day
I was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack
Think I'm gonna sack
The whole board of trustees
All those Don Quixotes
In their B-17s
And I swear this time, yeah this time
It blows back to the '70s
And this time
They're playing "Ride of the Valkaries"
With no semblance of grace or wit
And they're acting on vagaries
With the violent proclivities
And they're playing ride
They're playing ride
Playing ride
Ride, "Ride of the Valkaries"
Sovay, Sovay, Sovay
All along the day
I was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack
Think I'm gonna sack
The whole board of trustees
All those Don Quixotes
In their B-17s
And I swear this time
It blows back to the '70s
And this time
They're playing "Ride of the Valkyries"
With no semblance of grace or wit
And they're acting on vagaries
With the violent proclivities
And they're playing ride
They're playing ride
They're playing ride
And they're playing ride
Playing ride
Playing Ride, "Ride of the Valkyries"
