Little Wings - Next Time lyrics

rate me

This is a note to the self situation

A microphone test of a dense dictation...

Last time, they tried to fit me in a funny suit

This time, they tried to fill my pocket full of loot

Next time, they'll start to weep while I'm bailing

Next time, I'll have to wade through their wailing

Last time, they had to hang me like a poster

This time, they rode me like a roller coaster

Next time, they'll have to find me if they wanna try

Next time, they'll have a long time to wonder why

I always turn my head when they walk by

I make-believe my shoelace came untied

Better yet, act like something's in my eye

Oh, I gotta do what I don't want to

High as the hates that hunt and haunt you

Pouring the paint you're pealing, won't you

Pull a pal away when he's reeling, don't you

Look at last time for one minute

I promise I'll try

Look at this time, will and when it

With a gleaming in my eye

Look at next time, searching's granted

Full power from the sky

Look at what the light does when we're in it

So I wonder why I stop to wonder why

Last time, they spread me shallow like the gravel

This time, they struck me twice like a gavel

"Order in the Court!" What Court is the question

Give no retort, leave everybody guessing

Last time, they bent me over like a rainbow

This time, they stepped through me like a tango

Next time, I'll abbreviate it so

They won't lose their breath every time they say it, oh

I'll keep a song inside their head in bloom

Feed it sweet light, fertilize it with some tunes

If words are the risk, then music's the perfume

Oh, sung from the mouth of friend or stranger

A dangerous bird or bird of danger

If you can keep up, well, why won't you

Songs everywhere so I sing it, don't you

Look at last time for one minute

I promise I'll try

Look at this time, will and when it

With a gleaming in my eye

Look at the next time, searching's granted

Full power from the sky

Look at what the light does when we're in it

Now I wonder why I stop to wonder why

Last time - last time

This time - this time

Next time - next time

I'll try - I'll try - I'll try - I'll try - I'll try
