Mountain Bird Lyrics - Cherry Ghost

Angel eyes, strike a match 

And set this city alight 

All of my life I have been pondering 

The good done doing right 

Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Dont go chasing that green back dollar 

There was a time, when I'd sing my songs 

With a mouthful of rain 

Now I'm a cut price criminal 

First goes your heart, there goes the shame 

Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Dont go chasing that green back dollar 

Button up boy, toughen up boy, learn to destroy 

But when all my tears have run dry 

Oh who am I to tell my grief to 

Fight, like a dog, with a big ass bone 

You'll still be a dog 

Kid with a dumbbell ego, shootin' at the neighbors 

For a borrowed God 

Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Dont go chasing that green back dollar 

The green back dollar 

Who am I to tell my grief to?
