Flightless Bird, American Mouth Lyrics
Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Iron & Wine
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 -
Pissing 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
