ostrich

ostrich - c. duren

i wanna bury my head in the sand
even though i'm pretty sure the whole world can
still see my body standin' above the ground

but i don't care sometimes i
just wanna hide maybe if i could find a way
to work these wings of mine
or maybe i could run

to where the earth meets to sky
i'll stick out my thumb and i'll hitch a ride on
the phoenix that's headin' straight to the sun
and wherever she drops me off i'll run

do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me
we can race the earth around the sun, friend you & me
finally defy these laws of gravity
i used to be an ostrich

do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me
we can race the earth around the sun, friend finally
some wings that work for me
i'm not the ostrich i used to be

have you ever been afraid, ever looked away
from what the world was sendin' your way
have you ever tried to close your eyes
to your heart

you ever looked for another way out
for a detour around the truth; just livin' lies
and wearin' a disguise
well i'm thinkin' that you could come too
to run

to the ocean's edge
to a pretty pastel escape; i'll be the one
floatin' on the wings of hermes
and maybe you could borrow superman's cape
oh

do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me
we can race the earth around the sun, friend you & me
finally defy these laws of gravity
i used to be an ostrich

do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me
we can race the earth around the sun, friend finally
some wings that work for me
i'm not the ostrich i used to be

oh...i'm not the ostrich
i used to be
