[00:17.97] He gambles on the Sabbath
[00:19.64] He's pulling at the mane
[00:21.77] He thrashes on the horse's back
[00:23.96] Ambition is a bloody game
[00:26.33] Horse doesn't want to jump
[00:28.14] The river looks too wide
[00:29.88] Well he faces every hurdle
[00:31.81] With a nervous state of mind
[00:35.25] "Stay with me, breathe deeply
[00:39.06] take three paces back
[00:40.56] turn and make a full attack"
[00:43.05] The gods are laughing
[00:44.48] And they're tugging at the reins
[00:46.48] But he's taken to his wings
[00:48.67] And they hit the bank
[00:50.23] Heaven may stone him
[00:52.98] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[00:56.10]
[00:58.54] Heaven may stone him
[01:01.28] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[01:03.84]
[01:15.20] His finger's on the trigger
[01:16.95] His eye is on the clock
[01:19.07] He doesn't give the game away
[01:21.56] And quickly fires the bullets off
[01:23.50] Six hearts cut short
[01:25.43] Still dreaming they're alive
[01:27.37] Run'round in dusty circles
[01:29.43] Like an absent state of mind
[01:32.61] Who hunter? Who victim?
[01:35.79] God love America
[01:37.92] He surely doesn't love him
[01:40.22] Hitching out of nowhere
[01:41.92] Lands in traffic knee deep
[01:44.12] A chance to stave the morning off
[01:45.93] And get some sleep
[01:47.42] Heaven may stone him
[01:50.31] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[01:52.87]
[01:55.68] Heaven may stone him
[01:58.56] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[02:00.99]
[02:50.85] He wears a crucifix
[02:52.22] His mother left to him
[02:54.09] It's wrapped in chains around his heart
[02:56.45] Rusted and wafer thin
[02:58.77] "Don't count on luck son"
[03:00.52] All the angels sing
[03:02.33] "Don't need to check a weathervane
[03:04.39] We all know what tomorrow brings"
[03:07.12] Life is a gamble from
[03:08.69] Coyotes with the mules
[03:10.99] Life is a bullring
[03:12.37] For taking risks and flouting rules
[03:15.31] Who needs a safety net
[03:16.92] The world is open wide
[03:18.93] Just look out for card sharks
[03:20.75] And the danger signs
[03:22.30] Heaven may stone him
[03:25.18] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[03:28.60]
[03:30.73] Heaven may stone him
[03:33.41] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[03:36.34]
[03:38.96] Heaven may stone him
[03:41.91] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
[03:44.64]
[03:47.20] Heaven may stone him
[03:49.70] But Jean the birdman pulls it off
