the wasteland wailers - broken wing recital lyrics
[verse 1]
well, i bit the bullet, i drunk it dry
my heart is spillin’ over the sides
of a tall glass of whiskey that’s k!llin’ the pain
my wings were broken
all feathers and flame
heart pumpin’ black and blue, swirlin’ down the pit
i ain’t been me since zephyr came and went
[chorus]
they told me i would fly
they told me i would fly
a talent i received
but that didn’t keep her with me
my mind’s full of your déjà vu, but it ain’t curin’ my broken wing blues
[verse 2]
the columns of my city in youth i would spend
twixt ivory chute and slalom with zephyr, my first friend
stripe war poised to stranglе, but fringe to fringe we knеw
the pair of us would scare us up a victory or two
for sun and moon and country, it ends, we all go home
one mortar sh+ll shot that to h+ll
now ground+bound i’m alone
[chorus]
they told me i would fly
they told me i would fly
the treatment i received
didn’t bring her back to me
my mind’s full of your déjà vu, but it ain’t curin’ my broken wing blues
[verse 3]
doctors pumped me full of magic, spruced me up real good
my burnt wings strapped to plastic, a shiny hoof out of wood
they say i’m fixed, done with healin’
but losin’ my wingmare’s got me feelin’
only you can can break this ceilin’
and every second’s time i’m stealin’
[chorus]
they told me i would fly
they told me i would fly
they told me a lie
it hurts to laugh when six feet under’s my better half
you can bury me there too, through this bottle
i’ll follow you and finally be through with these broken wing blues
[outro]
broken wing blues
broken wing blues
