lyrics

Hey Albatross, how you doing?
Well, I'm doing fine
Even if you don't want to answer me,
Just know you're in the back of my mind.

Somehow, somewhere, something
Something doesn't seem doesn't seem quite right
I'm going about my busy day
Working to reach new heights
I'm smiling and laughing, and crying tears of joy
Everything seems quite nice
But inside I can hear you chirp
Skinned by a hunter's knife

Hey Albatross, how you doing?
Well, I'm doing fine
Even if you don't want to answer me,
Just know you're in the back of my mind.

Everything I knew before
Hasn't changed at all
All my emotions are still picked out
From the stores at a shopping mall
But now I find myself worrying
That I'm gonna fall
And except you no one can catch me
I guess I got too tall

Hey Albatross, how you doing?
Well, I'm doing fine
Even if you don't want to answer me,
Just know you're in the back of my mind.

Where did everyone go?
Everyone that I used to know
Well, Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was as white as snow
Bird you got tangled in that wool
And made the alphabet hit a new low
And now the letters that make up 'love' and other words
Will have to regrow

Hey Albatross, how you doing?
Well, I'm doing fine
Even if you don't want to answer me,
Just know you're in the back of my mind.

Reason says differently
But I don't want you to leave me alone
I pray on your every word
But I can't stand the pecking inside my dome
So get the hell out of here
I guess my heart will turn to stone
I'll sit in a mighty castle
And degrade as I dream of chrome

Hey Albatross, how you doing?
I'm not doing fine
I know you won't ever answer me
So I'm just gonna leave you behind

You can fly away into the storm
You can fly to a heaven above
Just make sure you're not near here
Throw me beneath the rug
If over the edge what's meant for me
Just give me that final shove
If the only things I believe in don't make sense
I guess I've had enough.
