Flightless Bird, American Mouth lyrics
by Melanie Martinez
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Have I found you? Flightless bird
Jealous, weeping
Or lost you? American mouth
Big pill looming
[Verse 2]
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
p*ssing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures
Thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
[Chorus]
Have I found you? Flightless bird
Grounded, bleeding
Or lost you? American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down
