big smith – mocking bird lyrics
walked along the creek bank–
had to kick the brambles down.
stopped to watch a plane fly by
that was towing the sky around
it was towing the sky around.
grabbed a snake from the water
but his mouth opened cotton white.
i took his head and his skin from his long white flesh
but his coils wrapped my wrist so tight–
his coils wrapped my wrist so tight.
i reached up in a golden branch
to shake the fox grapes down.
a sacred song was in my mouth
but the mockingbird shouted me down–
that old mockingbird shouted me down.
lay back in a bed of last year’s leaves
the whole sky cotton white.
and the crow that coughed his terrible names
flapped his way out of sight–
he flapped his way out of sight.
the highway back to the city
just as blank as it could be
and i forgot the snake and the birds
for you waited in town for me–
at least i hoped that you waited for me.
stood at your bathroom mirror
knocked your wine gl-ss in the sink
red wine, red wine everywhere
but not a drop to drink
there was nary a drop to drink
so i went back to that golden branch
but all had been rained down
a sacred song was in my mouth
but the mockingbird shouted me down–
that old mockingbird shouted me down.
