Well I bit the bullet, I drunk it dry My heart is spillin over the sides Of a tall glass of whiskey that's killin the pain My wings were broken, all feathers and flame
Heart pumpin black and blue, swirlin down the pit I ain't been me since Zephyr came and went
They told me I would fly They told me I would fly A talent I recieved But that didn't keep her with me
My mind's full of your deja vu but it ain't curin my broken wing blues
The columns of my city, in youth I would spend Twixt ivory chute and slalom with Zephyr, my first friend Stripe war poised to strangle, but fringe to fringe we knew The pair of us would scare us up a victory or two For sun and moon and country, it ends, we all go home One mortar shell shot that to hell, now ground-bound I'm alone
They told me I would fly They told me I would fly The treatment I recieved didn't bring her back to me My minds full of your deja vu, but it ain't curin my broken wing blues
Doctors pumped me full of magic, spruced me up real good My burnt wings strapped to plastic, a shiny hoof out of wood they say I'm fixed, done with healin, but losin my wingmare's got me feelin Only you can can break this ceilin and every second's time I'm stealin
They told me I would fly They told me I would fly They told me a lie
It hurts to laugh when six feet under's my better half You can bury me there too, through this bottle I'll follow you and finally be through with these broken wing blues
