VERSE: 

So kind is the others, i feel change in the wind 
the light-house man, turns and whispers me some things 
we dont sleep, awake in a dream 
shot my baby with an arrow, in the rain 
us, you, me and them 
we got together

like the bird on the buffalo 
like the bird on the buffalo-oh 
like the bird on the buffalo 
like the bird on the buffalo-oh 

OUTRO: 
like the bird on 
like the bird on a buffalo
