Kingmaker - Hey, Birdman lyrics

I want some escape I wanna fly out of here What's keeping me grounded is becoming clear I was born with no special powers But I could've been someone if I'd put in the hours This small town is whittling away My outward-bound ticket like I was its' enemy. I walk down the high streets doesn't get me very high It seems everybody looks at the floor and not up in the sky Is there nowhere I can buy a cheap pair of wings Take the weight off my feet. My mind off of things This small change is getting me down Where we're in the money baby, then we'll paint the town Doo doo doo doo doo Hey Birdman The wind's in my wings but the wax's in my eyes I was so near to getting somewhere when it all slipped out of my fist When it came down I had a choice And I'm not the type that can insist This small town isn't so small That I can fly out Soar over its' walls I climbed the tallest building to take my final flight But when it came to jumping I was too scared of heights Doo doo doo doo doo Hey Birdman The wind's in my wings will you watch where I fly Are you watching over me as I get high? Doo doo doo doo doo Hey Birdman The wind's in my wings but I've floated up too high
