Pretention

bird of the shadows
bird of the night
very close among us
but always out of sight

bird on the rainbow
bird on the wing
seeking many colors
you take but never bring

queen of the tunnel
queen of the masque
got a bunch of faces
i always gotta ask

queen of the island
queen of the sky
you really got my number
and i know you don't know why
