She's black and red and built just like a spy plane Extracting information from my mind The photographs she takes into her mainframe For your eyes only lonely cold war time Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does Leave me here alone to collect my things She sees music in the terror she brings And like a technicolor dream The light in your eyes blinded me From the perch she softly smiled My blackbird softly smiled She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets Stark and dark against enemy skies For miles above the earth no-one could detect her My blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind And all this time there is no crime or treason that she hasn't seen SR-71 Blackbird from the heaven above She's the only one The only spy I ever loved She's the only spy I ever loved
