Flightless Bird American Mouth by Iron and Wine















I really love this song.
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.
