0:02I was a quick-wet boy
0:05Diving too deep for coins
0:10All of your street light eyes
0:15Wide on my plastic toys
0:20Then when the cops closed the fair
0:24I cut my long baby hair
0:29Stole me a dog-eared map
0:34And called for you everywhere
0:40Have I found you
0:46Flightless bird jealous weeping
1:01Or lost you
1:06American mouth
1:12Big pill looming
1:22Now I'm a fat house cat
1:27Nursing my sore blunt tongue
1:31Watching the warm poison rats
1:37Curl through the wide fence cracks
1:42Pissing on magazine photos
1:48Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
1:57Blood of Christ mountain stream
2:03Have I found you
2:09Flightless bird grounded bleeding
2:24Or lost you
2:30American mouth
2:36Big pill stuck going down
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 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
