Iron And Wine Flightless Bird American Mouth Lyrics

Flightless Bird American Mouth 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

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
