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 Im a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide/white 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, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

  • An ambitious boy loses his innocence as he goes through his life, growing up and never doing anything he should do or wanted to do. He just becomes part of the system, like everyone else. Complains but never does a thing to change it. Because living where we do, we take things for granted, such as the American mouth. We speak, but don't use it. As if a big pill is going down our throats.

    I can't believe you people can think ANY song is random words.

    Everything is written for a reason.

  • Best Prom Song, ever.
