The Bird Song

Antonia


If you want to be a bird
Won't you come try a little flying.
No denying it gets you high.

Why be shackled to your feet
When you've got weed you haven't used yet?
Don't wait for heaven, get out and fly.

Chorus:
Just glide there through the clear air,
Makin' figure eights through the Pearly Gates
Where the soul and the universe meet.

If you want to be a bird
It won't take much to get you up there
But when you come down land on your feet

Chorus


Notes:
Antonia was the wife/girlfriend/S.O. of Peter Stampfel.  She apparently had also
had some kind of relationship with Steve Weber.  This is reportedly how the two
co-founders of the Holy Modal Rounders met.  Quite a bit of searching on the Net
failed to turn up any name other than just "Antonia".
