Superchunk - Water Wings lyrics

In the crowd The crowd spreads out Takes out its gla**es And you'd swear Pulls out arrows from God knows where? The fires in full They form a net They drain their cups And wait expectantly for their hero to blow up She pointed at the black cloud in the sky Said that's what happens when you're leaning to fly She said those wings are just a disguise And you cannot make me cry She pointed at the black cloud in the sky Yeah that's what happens Was it worth the wait? Is that the wall where you marked off the date? With the wings Made of wax Made of water He was too dumb to accept the offer He was too smart Step on into the leather Fire it up Pull out the feathers, one by one As he got closer to the sun She pointed at the black cloud in the sky Said that's what happens when you're leaning to fly She said those wings are just a disguise And you cannot make me cry She pointed at the black cloud in the sky Yeah that's what happens She pointed at the black cloud in the sky She said with you it is no use Why do you try?
