Bird’s Eye View

Baptism of fire
Smoky night in a northern town
See the sky crack open
Blades come hovering down
Shooting lightning bolts
Down an empty street
Daddy shouts now go to sleep
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
In a boy’s eye view it’s only a string of lights
Just a stone’s throw from my home
To the edges of the danger zone
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
My bunk bed at the window
Gunfire and a siren screams
A strange kind of music
The background to a young boy’s dream
They’re shooting lightning bolts
Down an empty street
And I can’t help but take a peek
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
In a boy’s eye view it’s only a string of lights
Just a stone’s throw from my home
To the edges of the danger zone
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
Baptism of fire
Smoky night in a northern town
See the sky crack open
Blades come hovering down
And I’ve got a bird’s eye view
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
In a boy’s eye view it’s only a string of lights
Just a stone’s throw from my home
To the edges of the danger zone
I’ve got a bird’s eye view
I’ve got a bird’s eye view
I’ve got a bird’s eye view up on the hill tonight
