Thunderbird by They Might Be Giants Lyrics

I know, I know, I said that I would quit
All right, I promise, no more after this
You don't know how I tried
To forget what it was like

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird

Man, oh, man, my throat is dry
Man, are you thinking what I am
Well, what about it, then?

Before you fall, you have to learn to crawl
You can't see heaven when you're standing tall
To get the whole sky
On the ground you have to lie

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird
We like fun, me and my girl
We'll have fun, fun, fun until
T-bird takes her dad away

I know, I know, I said that I'd desist
All right, I promise no more after this
Not to be what I was like
Not to soar across the sky
Spread my thunder wings and fly
Spread my thunder wings and fly

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird
