Linda Perry - Balboa Park Lyrics

Sold my bed
Lost my coat
Cracked the mirror
An ugly joke
Always knew that I would be
Different from the others

Never young
Old at heart
Sold my soul at Balboa Park
The crystal winds underneath the trees
Gentle like a lover

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

Traveled from another time
Contemplated suicide
To get me back to where I belonged
Whispered tales of crazy

The bitter drip down the throat
Gave me nowhere else to go
I was young but not confused
Back in 1980

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

All those years I stayed numb no sorry’s
A long goodbye movin’ on, no sorry’s

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird
Black bird
Black bird

Black bird pick me up
Black bird
Black bird pick me up
Black bird

Black bird pick me up
Black bird get me high
Black bird pick me up
Black bird

Black bird
Black bird
Get me high
