Manchester Orchestra - Play It Again, Sam! You Don't Have Any Feathers lyrics

You lift your skinny fists up in the sky Pack a change of clothes and left in the middle of july 2005 When the gla** it hit the wall, the mother cried and the cops were called The day, you said, goodbye Your father left his work by 1 or 2 To a crying telephone, his wife was on the other side of you Really did it this time, the lord looks down and begins to cry They day, you said, goodbye And i know, you've been abandoned Dont abandon ship on me Just know, like winter white snow You've been forgiven, come back to me I know right now That dont mean anything Your skinny legs bounced up into the sky I tried to tell you to be careful not to jump that high With your fingers crossed you fall, against the ground i saw it all The day, you tried, to fly When the red and blue lights made the scene Your eyes were glazed and honestly can you remember anything When the others ran away, I prayed to god they wouldn't stay But sometimes he doesnt listen From a father, to his daughter My prodigal child, come back to me From sinner, to his maker Your prodigal son, is on his knees Sweet god, please hold on to me Sweet god, hold her please, oh please The day, she tried, to fly Hold me, the day i try to fly
