lyrics

Halfway during a bus ride
in the Spanish Pyrenees
My birding buddy screams, she’s seen
the Lammergeier

Everybody’s staring at the sky
into the valley green
All we spotted was a Finch, no sign
of a Lammergeier
All we spotted was a Finch, no sign
of a Lammergeier

The king? The High Priest?
What did you just see
through the window screen?!
Sure you weren’t thinking
about the husband
of your dreams, honey?

Chaplin, Dali?
I know you love a moustache
so wasn’t it a hot flash?
Sure you weren’t blinking
at the time of the scene?

We took many hairpin turns
while we drove down in the heat
I’m sure that you were busy
trying to catch some sleep

The night before was a long night?
We had red wine and some beer
Or have you really seen
the Lammergeier?
Or have you really seen
the rare Lammergeier?

The king? The High Priest?
What did you just see
through the window screen?!
Sure you weren’t thinking
about the husband
of your dreams, honey?

Chaplin, Dali?
I know you love a moustache
so wasn’t it a hot flash?
Sure you weren’t blinking
at the time of the scene?
