The Heavy Blinkers Follow

From the barnyard to the launch pad
From the chicken coup to the moon
Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some time
I will fly away soon

From a little egg to the big dipper
From chicken feed to space food
Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some luck
I will fly to the moon

From the cow who sat on my mother
To the cow who jumped over the moon
I want to be there in the atmosphere
I have no fear, send me to Mir

From these heavy legs to sweet weightlessness
From these useless wings to the speed of sound
Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some luck
I'll be heaven bound

From the chopping block to a medal around my neck
From conveyor belts to Van Allen
From the crowded cage to endless space
I'll spend my days
"He's crazy, so absurd
He can't fly, he's just a bird"
