Blackbird (Acoustic) - The Expendables & Ballyhoo!

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black sky Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black sky

Six years hasn't been too long And I'm holdin' our stance strong To the values of our fate We partied every party to the ground Turned every backyard upside down And by and by we have survived So don't start rollin' when the flood is comin' We're all gonna drown in here tonight This is something real from all of us And this is how we roll, can you feel it? So girl get up and dance, you know what to do Don't be shy, this is why you came out here tonight So let loose... Tomorrow morning's gonna hurt I hope I don't wake up in the dirt One more sip and I'll fall asleep Oh I've been hearin' things I didn't do But there are versions I'll tell you And by and by we have survived So don't start rollin' when the flood is comin' We're all gonna drown in here tonight This is something real from all of us And this is how we roll, can you feel it? So girl get up and dance, you know what to do Don't be shy, this is why you came out here tonight So let loose...

How can I comprehend the consequences of my decision It's so frustrating How can my life reflect upon my envision My concentrations failing People say it's time to stop pretending The answers will come my way Time can only heel wounds that need mending That's just the price that we payWatch swim away From this place that I don't know anymore Watch me drift away From this place that was my shore How many time have I told myself to stay away Countless numbers How many times should I have left when she told me to stay I can't even remember If I could easily escape this situation If I only could If I could easily control my hesitation If I only would

Sunshine in this lovely afternoon Oh i can't feel much better So i lay back With my eyes under my hat My skin is dark as ever And nothing but sandals, shorts and hat My bike is my connection To every port that will supply my empty ship And harbor my intentions Tonight its on again I talked to all my friends Into the village we get down, down, down We peddle down the street Reflectors on my seat And to the village we get down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down yeah! Night time in this neighborhood of mine You hear the back yards murmur Oh when the glow light Of the bonfire sight Warm souls and outstretched fingers So down the road i go Spinning my spokes To all authority My high is unknown, yeah Tonight its on again I talked to all my friends Into the village we get down, down, down We peddle down the street Reflectors on my seat And to the village we get down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down yeah! I have fell into this place i call my own I think i'll stay here for a while For a while For a while Oh yeah e yeah! Tonight its on again I talked to all my friends Into the village we get down, down, down We peddle down the street Reflectors on my seat And to the village we get down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down yeah!
