Broken Wings

Words and Music by Raccoon

as recorded on Loose In The City

 

 

I got two broken wings – I can’t fly

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

And I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home

 

Mmmm, it’s been a long time since I looked in the eyes of a friend

Mmmm, it’s been a long time, time, time - I thought my quest would never end

 

The only way to bring me down is fill me full of holes

But you can’t stop my soaring soul

Here I go – Flyin' to the sun

But I’m not the only one

There’s many people there you’ve never seen before

You never really cared enough to open up your doors

 

And mighty misty mountain that washed out to the sea

There used to be a mountain here but now there’s just me 

And I got time, time, time, time

You gotta keep on flying high

And I got time, time, time, time

You gotta try till you die

 

I feel like a mountaintop that’s been weather worn to the ground

I’m not quite so tall anymore but I sure have spread around

Oooooh, time, time - It makes you old and it makes you blind

Yeeeeah, time, time, time, time

It heals all wounds – Is it gonna heal mine?

 

And I got two broken wings and I can’t fly

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

And I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home, yeah
