Flightless Bird Lyrics - Iron and Wine

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 bill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the white fence cracks
Kissing 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
