Violent Femmes - Flamingo Baby lyrics

You're a flamingo You stand on one leg You're a flamingo baby You hatched from an egg Well you hold your foot up So delicately over the sea And when it comes down It comes down on me Well it used to want to hump you I used to want to rock and roll I was attracted to your gracefulness But your surprise sure took its toll Now i guess i'd better go out now Gonna try to find something new And all i'm left with is this craving For some flamingo stew Now the beauty's in the gutter The loveliness is off her throne In the eyes of the beholder it's gone And now he feels kind of alone But this feeling it's the kind that will shortly pa** I'm gonna find myself another bird And roll on down the gra** Gordon gano: vocal, acoustic guitar, slide solo Brian ritchie: acoustic ba** guitar, ukelele Victor delorenzo: conga drum Mixed by david vartanian
