Lyrics: Sam Beam
Music: Sam Beam
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight 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 bill looming
Now Iām 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
Have I found you?
Flightless bird,
brown hair bleeding.
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill,
stuck going down.
