Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Verse 1:
G
I was a quick wet boy
Em
Diving too deep for coins
C
All of your straight blind eyes
D
Wide on my plastic toys
G
And when the cops closed the fair
Em
I cut my long baby hair
C
Stole me a dog-eared map
D
And called for you everywhere
Chorus:
G
Have I found you?
Em C D
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
G
Or lost you?
Em
American mouth
C D
Big bill looming
Verse 2:
G
Now I??m a fat house cat
Em
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
C
Watching the warm poison rats
D
Curl through the wide fence cracks
G
p**sing on magazine photos
Em C
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
D
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Chorus:
G
Have I found you?
Em C D
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
G
Or lost you?
Em
American mouth
C D
Big bill, still going down...
