Lyrics
Mountain Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Angel eyes, strike a match and set this city alight
All of my life I have been pondering the good done
doing right
Won't you be my mountain bird?
Forget all you've seen and heard here
Change your name and cut your hair
Spread your wings across my window
Don't go chasing that green back dollar
There was a time, when I'd sing my songs with a
mouthful of rain
Now I'm a cut price criminal
First goes your heart, there goes the shame
Won't you be my mountain bird?
Forget all you've seen and heard here
Change your name, change your name and cut your hair
Spread your wings across my window
Don't go chasing that green back dollar
Button up boy, toughen up boy, learn to destroy
But when all my tears have run dry
Oh who am I to tell my grief to
Fight, like a dog, with a big ass bone you'll still be
a dog
Kid with a dumbbell ego, shootin' at the neighbours
For a borrowed God
Won't you be my mountain bird?
Forget all you've seen and heard here
Change your name, change your name and cut your hair
Spread your wings across my window
Don't go chasing that green back dollar
The green back dollar
Who am I to tell my grief to?
