Islands - Winged Beat Drums lyrics

You were all grown up In the dark ages When I heard you cry Born at the wrong time You wanna dig a hole You don't wanna stay You say "I know a way I know a way" Then you blotted out the sun With your opposable thumb But there's no where to run That's where you're coming from Flapping your gums Like a winged beat drums I know your flight path More than anyone does Cousin You said "life's not a gas It's a gas chamber" I know you'll follow your nose To where the vapor goes You feel energetic When you foam at the mouth The thing that wears you out An anesthetic Just run Run away You can jump

You won't hurt your legs Don't come away From the ledge And float away I will float away I will (float away) I will (float away) I will (float away) I will (float away) Flapping your gums Like a winged beat drums I know your flight path More than anyone does Cousin I feel sympathetic Think I know what it's like Think I like pissing away A diuretic I'm sick of laying down Sick of playing dead Sick of being sick Think I'm sick in the head Run away I will run away Run away I will run away Flapping your gums Like a winged beat drums I know your flight path More than anyone does Cousin
