Mockingbirds Lyrics - Mighty Joe Moon - Grant Lee Buffalo

Devastation, at last finally we meet 

After all of these years out here on the street 

I had a feeling you would make yourself known 

You came along just to claim your place on the throne 

And I have been overthrown, overthrown 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

Devastation, my door was left open wide 

You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride 

I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts 

I made a note to myself I nearly forgot 

Now, I am overwrought, I'm overwrought 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

One day, this ground will break 

And open up for me I hope it will, I hope it will 

Salutations, at last down on my knees 

I heard the bugle this morn blast Reveille 

Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm 

All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm 

And now, I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine 

And I thought if I toed the right lines 

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
