Flightless Bird, American Mouth
by Iron & Wine
Verse 1:
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Chorus:
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Verse 2:
Now I’m a fat house cat
Cursing 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
Chorus:
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, still going down...
