Strange Bird
------------
by Jimmy Buffett and Jay Oliver

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 of the rest
God only knows where the strange bird goes when he s flying
Everybody s trying to find him
The ornithologist lady says that he has wings on his heart

Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of 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 hearthe s a strange bird

His only home is in the skies
Slicing throught the cloudy pie
Above the whole carribean
Moves the swift amphibian

Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of 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 hearthe s a strange bird

But he s in love witht eh 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 permission to land

Chorus:
Strange bird from a different nest
Flying low not like all of 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 hearthe s a strange bird

Strange bird flying low
Cross the Gulf of Mexico
Strange bird not like all of the rest
Watch out girl he s a strange bird
It s a birdit s a planeit s a strange bird
