lyrics

BUSTED WING
Lyrics & music, instruments, vocals, recording, mix © Sandy Garnett / Chelsea Media

You never see my soul anymore
Come on down and tear my soul out there today
You want me to take my paintbrush and hold it
In the wrong goddamn way
You say pretty things to me, serpentine things to me
Try to rip my dreams right away
But I been hustling find my own way
You taught me that dreams don’t come to those who pay

When I was a liar playing with fire
Always had plenty to say
But now I’ve gone tired of lying by firesides
Resenting the campy games that you play
Lying around in a mountain top penthouse
And living a life that was foreign to me
How can I stand on your lost lover’s land
That you bought with your kisses now blistering me

I won’t go won’t be bought or sold
Come on down there and take my love away
Won’t be turned to stone no I won’t fold
Gonna take my busted wings and fly away

I don’t feel your love anymore
Got nothing to do but drain my heart away
You been charming forever my you’ve been clever
But you ain’t got no more toyboy today
All I ever wanted was you to be truly
But your deceptive ways kept grilling me
Speaking lost tongues with your new precious ones
Snake in the grass just calling me crazy

Deep in your life I sift through the pages
Of fragmented days that collected within you
You cry your alone while you dash for the phone
Run out on your beautiful child without me
You say you’re a mustang a dusty camero
But I see a little girl who lost her way
Want the world on a string to cradle the princess
Running rampant inside her childish dismay

Tired of living your toyboy lies
Nothing to do but take my love away
While you cry you're alone as you dash for the phone
Gonna sail out the backdoor and fly away

Leaving your footsteps by the chill of the moon’s
Cold bloom on a trail while I chased your tail
Crawl right around the hail you beat down
In your frowns that pound me and push me away
Taking better aim at my icicle princess
She turns men to coal to be bought and sold
Fire my light in your cavernous mine
Get out when I find that you plan to bury me

You never see my soul any more
Come on down and tear my soul out there today
You want me to take my paintbrush and hold it
In the wrong goddamn way
You say pretty things to me, serpentine things to me
Try to rip my dreams right away
But I been hustling find my own way
You taught me that dreams don’t come to those who pay

You want me to take my paint brush
And hold it in the wrong goddamn way
I don’t feel your love anymore
Gotta take my busted wings and fly away
