Sage Francis - Broken Wings lyrics

(Chorus) Shes a fairy with broken wings I used to watch her perform And if she hears me I hope she sings songs That had me going right back Couldnt find anyone in town to talk Bout how no one like that Should be confined to the ground we walk She glides but just seems like she floats And these folks decide to crush her wings until there permanently broke She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope On the eastside hustling discussing things that we quote In shallow conversation as if we have deep throats We chokin on confusion Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats Trading in our cheap jokes for her c notes I see notes being pa**ed I ask to see what these creeps wrote Define silly kids and flying privelages revoke Ski slopes have been blocked off they cant transit Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely cant skip Down, shes held down by the transripts my hands grip Tried to tie her wings back on before the ones again clip Panic stricken, shell remain stuck On a titantic sinken, shes tryin to stay up Change her plan thinken its ok See this is strange but Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up I'd like to see Her take flight into the stars Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars Instead of letting fly free they keep em in jars I put my hand to the gla** so hard It might break the prison bars It isnt hard to see why they keep her captive Shes naturally attractive Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented Aint enough adjectives to do her dispotion justice Kids are wishin for just a kiss and its a mission to touch her lipstick Cant trust her with Freedom of movement thats a chance to loose her quick If she ups and splits We might as well call that discussion quits If we's to keep her down the government's underlinks Enslave people in this town especially if there cultures rich Exploiting talents making it do a bunch of tricks With the rest of the wingless imports Repeatedly told you aint a ferry just a b**h Just a b**h, with a bu*t thats thick So rub your tits, and thrust your hips And s** my dick, and run your sh**, and run your sh**, and run your sh** (Chorus) Shes a fairy with broken wings I used to go watch her perform And if she hears me I hope she sings songs That had me going right back Couldnt find anyone in town to talk Bout how no one like that Should be confined to the ground (Verse Two) When I was down in New York she'd send me letters And I read her pa**ages about how I left it to the savages No matter how sad it is I didnt cry Cause it was only a matter of time Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride I knew the scoop Wish you could of seen the blueprints in my eye When I flew the coop Utilizing overground railroads in the sky It was live or die let me let you in on the secret of mine Me and you are different girl We dont even need wings to fly We dont need wings to fly Me and you... we dont need wings to fly Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try Just keep on singing giveit a try, give it a try (5x)
