[Verse 1] I can still see you there In your gra**-stained underwear Dancing crooked circles Across the golf course green It must have been 3 a.m When we hopped that chain link fence And ran across the gra** In the pouring rain Oh, and you kept falling down And rolling on the ground Like a drunken little bird Flapping its broken wings [Chorus] Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings Flapping your broken wings in the green, green gra** [Verse 2] As if pilgrims with axes Had never seen the devil dancing
In the silent branches Of thousand year old trees As they sailed up the wild coast Leaning from their wooden boats Shooting every pretty bird That rose up from the weeds When the sun began to rise I could see it in your eyes And shining on the golf balls Lying in the gra** And a rusted chain link fence A golf cart in a ditch And the colored flags You pulled from all the holes Like j**els on your green dress My lady of the golf course Running in your underwear To greet the cops who'd driven up [Chorus]
