Rain bird dives through the hole in a broken guitar
Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue
Like a stranded insect stuck in a bowl of glue
He tries to fly but he will die, if he ever leaves the zooRain bird
Rain birdRain bird swoops through the chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights of a famous stage
He tries to become invisible, whilst stealing the front pageRain bird

Rain birdWhen you were a boy, you used to wish for this
But like the cat who turns his nose up at the dish
Now that you have it, you want to give it away
When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance in a boot and shoe yard
That's when you wanted what you now give awayRain bird
You're all the rage bird
Rain bird
You're all the rage bird
