Superchunk - Water Wings lyrics

rate me

In the crowd

The crowd spreads out

Takes out its glasses

?? pulls out arrows ??

The fires in full

They form a net

They drain their cups

And wait expectantly for their hero to blow up

Chorus

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Said that's what happens when you're leaning to fly

She said those wings are just a disguise

And you cannot make me cry

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Yeah that's what happens

Was it worth the wait?

Is that the wall where you marked off the date?

Wood, the wings

Made of wax

Made of water

He was too dumb to accept the offer

He was too smart

Step on in to the leather

Fire it up

Pull out the feathers, one by one

As he got closer to the sun

Chorus

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

She said with you it is no use

Why do you try?
