Turtle And The Flightless Bird

Awake through the sound of the sad city sleeping

I turned around to find out who was speaking

But there was no one there

After a while, I arrived at a pile of feathers

Crying in all capital letters

With a big white sling on her wing

And two geysers where her eyes were

"We may not live up in the sky

Where the air gets scared when the planes go by

But you can hop up on my shell

When we crawl across the highway"

Yeah, we were two rocks when you strike them together

I told her that I would like nothing better

Yeah, nothing in the world than to just lie around

'Neath the blackberry towers

We could keep talking on and on for hours

About how the wind goes "doo-doo-doo-to-doo"

We may not live up in the sky

Where the air gets scared when the planes go by

But you can hop up on my shell

When we crawl across the highway

Cause we might get flattened today

But at least we lived here long enough to say

"hey hey, you're the one for me"

The night you gave that kiss to me

I cracked the ancient mystery

And on the day that you ran away

I touched the tail of the bumblebee

Darlin' girl, no it's just not right

Drinking ourselves to sleep at night

Won't you ever come back to me?

I haven't got what it takes to wait and see

"We may not live up in the sky

Where the air gets scared when the planes go by

But you can hop up on my shell

When we crawl across the highway"

"We may not live up in the sky

Where the air gets scared when the planes go by

But you can hop up on my shell

When we crawl across the highway"

"We may not live up in the sky

Where the air gets scared when the planes go by

But you can hop up on my shell

When we crawl across the highway"
