Isobel Campbell - The National Bird of India Lyrics

The national bird of India don't apologize to exist
The national bird of India don't ask questions, he just is
And as he flies
Does he try?
No, he just is

I wander around
Naked death in this town
Miss my family, miss my home
Friendship's so overrated
Human kindness outdated
I'd prefer to be alone
I felt so bad
I got so sad
My heart turned to stone

The national bird of India, saw him in Arcadia
The national bird of India was out driving in my car
And what a show
It's what we know
Everyone a star

And I've been struggling up and down
But my feet still feel like lead
And I've been struggling up 'til now
Someday's it's hard to leave my bed
I must be bored
I've been torn
And I've been misled

The national bird of India from the canyons to the beach
They're sayin' it won't be long
We're all singing the song
Do you practice what you preach
We've come so far, it's who we are
Not so out of reach
