Iron and Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth

[00:00.11] I was a quick wet boy,

[00:04.62] diving too deep for coins

[00:09.61] All of your straight blind eyes

[00:13.86] wide on my plastic toys

[00:18.36] Then when the cops closed the fair,

[00:23.11] I cut my long baby hair

[00:27.61] Stole me a dog-eared map

[00:32.11] and called for you everywhere

[00:37.86] Have I found you

[00:42.61] Flightless bird,

[00:47.87] jealous, weeping or lost you,

[01:01.36] american mouth

[01:06.11] Big bill looming

[01:14.61] Now I'm a fat house cat

[01:20.11] Nursing my sore blunt tongue

[01:24.36] Watching the warm poison rats

[01:28.90] curl through the wide fence cracks

[01:33.64] Pissing on magazine photos

[01:39.38] Those fishing lures thrown in the cold

[01:45.11] And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

[01:52.62] Have I found you

[01:57.87] Flightless bird,

[02:02.37] grounded, bleeding or lost you,

[02:16.36] american mouth

[02:21.11] Big bill, stuck going down
