歌曲名 Girl on the Wing

歌手名 The Shins

One wound up punch of intuition

Lays flat my whole take on us

You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer

The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time

We could have been so good-natured

If i'd relented when you insisted

But we've been backed against

All nature's walls far too long

You felt abandoned by me

I recall the sunshine as you were melting

And though the comedy softens the fall

They still hear us with their ears to the wall

I sold all my evil motives

No icicles stuck in my hide

I'm through with riddles i know we're little

Just help me feel warm inside

Before we take this ride and let it slide

Into the cracks where fall and winter collide

I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love

Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind

We could have been so good-natured

If you'd relented when i insisted

We take a week off let the garden grow by itself

And let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory ninties

And though the comedy softens the fall we stall fall short

Before we take this ride and let it slide

Into the cracks where fall and winter collide

I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love

Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind
