[Verse 1]
Bye bye blackbird, days are getting cold
Snakes and lizards are sucking up the gold
Chrome-Plated plastic they give you in return
And teach you a lesson you shouldn't have to learn

[Chorus]
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird

I remember now who I was supposed to be
Oh, but how do you get an octopus up a tree
Up a tree

[Verse 2]
Bye bye blackbird, time to leave the nest
The sun is overhead on its way out west
Follow that sun to a blood-red sea
And sleep in the arms of a coconut tree

[Chorus]
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird

[Verse 3]
Bye bye blackbird, fly into the sun
The money's all gone and your time is done
Suddenly awake in the middle of the night
Cover up my head with a blanket of light
[Chorus]
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird

I've got no time to drop LSD
I guess I've still got time for DMT
DMT
