Flightless Bird, American Mouth

Lyrics

I was a quick, wet boy
 Diving too deep for coins
 All of your streetlight 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 pill looming
 Now I'm a fat house cat
 Nursing 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?
 Grounded, bleeding
 Or lost you, American mouth?
 Big pill stuck going down
