The national bird of India
Don’t apologise to exist
The national bird of India
Don’t ask questions he just is
And does he fly?
And does he try?
No, he just is.
I wander around dig for depth in this town
Miss my family, miss my home
If friendship’s so overrated
Human kindness outdated
I’d prefer to be alone
It felt so bad
It got so sad
My heart turned to stone
The national bird of India
I saw him in Arcadia
The national bird of India
I was out driving in my car
And what a show
It’s what we know
Everyone a star
And I have been struggling uphill now
And my feet still feel like lead
And I have been struggling up till now
Some days it’s hard to leave my bed
I must be bold
To not be sold
And not be mislead
The national bird of India
From the canyons to the beach
They’re saying it won’t be long
We’re all singing the song
But do you practice what you preach?
We’ve come so far
It’s who we are
Not so out of reach

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
