What was he thinking?

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

Have I found you

Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth

Big pill stuck going down

-Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine

I am currently entertaining my infatuation for Iron and Wine.
It would be my pleasure, to have the significance of the extremely bizarre and eccentric choice of words made understood to me.
One day..


Dreamy music for dreamy days :)
