Winged Beat Drums Lyrics & Tabs by Islands
Winged Beat Drums
guitar chords lyrics
you were all grown up in the dark ages
when i heard you cry "born at the wrong time!"
you want to dig a hole
you don't want to stay
you say, "i know a way.
i know a way."
blotted out the sun
with your opposable thumb
but there's nowhere to run
that's where you're coming from
flapping your gums
like a winged beat drums
aaaaaaahhhhh
i know your flight path more than anyone does
cousin
aaaaaaahhhhh
i know your flight path more than anyone does
cousin
you said, "life's not a gas
it's a gas chamber."
i know you'll follow your nose
to where the vapor goes
feel energetic when you foam at the mouth
the thing that wears you out
an anesthetic
just run
run away
you can jump
you won't hurt your legs
don't come away
from the ledge
when you float away
i will float away
oooh
oooh
i will
float away
i will
float away
i will float away
oh
flapping your gums
like a winged beat drums
aaaaaaahhhhh
i know your flight path more than anyone does
cousin
i feel sympathetic
think i know what it's like
think i like
pissing away a diuretic
sick of laying down
sick of playing dead
sick of being sick
think i'm sick in the head
(a bunch of "ooooohs" you know. four of them i think)
run
away
i will
run away
run
away
i will
run away
flapping your gums like a winged beat drums
aaaaaahhh
i know your flight path more than anyone does
cousin
