Why do the birds of prey never stray far from the motorway Hover above us in the space between the hard shoulder and the sky I'm enraptured, I'm captured, the car zooms by Maybe I will never feel this free again maybe I'll count These days of inbetween are something I could do without Down, down and I swoop down, remind me how freedom feels 'Cos right now I am a falcon I'm circling up there with them and I need to wing, I need to sing All the choices I could make from the backseat of the car We get a plane to Aberdeen and I feel nervous Then calm descends and I think whatever I learned from this Living is dying and dying is a doorway anyway And I cross my shoulders as I look down on the cities They look like motherboards lit up so pretty Down down down when I swoop down Remind me how perspective feels Cos right now I am a falcon and I'm circling up there with them and I need some wings, I need to sing I fear I hunger forever if I dont swoop now And I fear I'll hunger forever And I fear I'll hunger forever Yeah I know I'll hunger forever If I bottle it now I get so scared I get so scared I get so utterly bewared My ego takes flight and I wonder how I fared so scared, so scared, so utterly bewared Humility lands in a wonder Why I cared at all I just should have shared it all Why do the birds of pray never stray far from the motorway Hover above us in the space between our shoulder and the sky I'm enraptured, I'm captured, as the car glides by Maybe I will never feel this free again maybe i'll count These days of inbetween are something i could do without Down, down and I swoop down, remind me how freedom feels 'Cos right now I am a falcon and I'm circling up there with them and I need to wing, I need to sing All the choices I could make from the backseat of the car Oh the conversations I have in my head All the things I only wish that I had said All the dreams I've catched and all the plans I've hatched mmmmm - in the backseat of the car I'm always the pa**enger x5
