Flightless Bird, American Mouth Iron & Wine The Shepherd's Dog

Customize:

 

 

 

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

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
[ Iron & Wine Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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



I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes

thanks to Twilight..or else i wouldn't know this song exists. But it is a nice beautiful song and of course as everyone says the lyrics are weird. It gives a romantic feeling in the movie's part. it keeps playing in my head.

this song, which I like both for its strange lyrics and trance like melody, reminds me of a modern day T.S Elliot ; but with ADHD.it isdisjointed and ellusive. Nevertheless, melancholy with a little bit if Southern gothic sweetness. haunting and lamenting.
