Rain bird dives throught the hole
In a broken guitar

Rain bird swoops through the
Chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights
Of a famous stage

He tries to become invisible
Whilst stealing the front pag[F#]e

[F#]When you were a boy

But like the [F#]cat who turns his nose
[Bsus2]Up at the dish
[F#]Now that you have it[Bsus2]
You want to give it away

When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance
In a boot and shoe yard

[F#]That's when you wanted[Bsus2]
What you now give away

You're all the rage, bird
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
- end on F#
