Flightless Bird - Iron & Wine

LYRICS:

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins 

All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys 

Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair 

Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere 

Have I found you, flightless bird? 

Jealous, weeping 

Or lost you, American mouth? 

Big pill looming 

Now I'm a fat house cat nursing my sore blunt tongue 

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks 

Kissing on magazine photos, those fishing lures 

Thrown in the cold and clean blood of Christ mountain stream 

Have I found you, flightless bird? 

Grounded, bleeding 

Or lost you, American mouth? 

Big pill, stuck going down

Peace !
