A Song For Ernest Hemingway Lyrics - No Closer To Heaven - The Wonder Years

The sky goes from concrete to charcoal 

I'm laying on my back on the roof 

Gonna shoot these clouds full of holes 

I need some fucking light to pour through 

Cause December's got me up against the ropes 

And I don't know how to get loose 

I can't get feeling back in my toes 

From walking in circles with you 

Like we're lost Canadian geese 

I should be south of here already 

I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound 

You're just doing what you're told 

Pick my body off the ground 

I'll be your dead bird...

I'm staring at Hemingway's shotgun 

And I'll picture him drinking alone 

He's forgetting things that he wouldn't have before 

His eyes are starting to go 

And I heard all about how his plane went down 

After Christmas in the Congo 

Read about his own death in the paper 

I bet it was freeing to know 

When you destroy everything worth chasing 

There's no where left to go 

I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound 

You're just doing what you're told 

Pick my body off the ground 

I'll be your dead bird 

Hanging from your mouth 

You're doing like you're told 

Gonna make your master proud 

It's good to know 

I didn't die for nothing

December's got me backed into a corner again 

My ears are back, my teeth are showing 

I'm combing through the wreckage trying to find where I've been 

I still get battle pains but from a safer distance 

I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound 

You're just doing what you're told 

Pick my body off the ground 

I'll be your dead bird 

Hanging from your mouth 

You're doing like you're told 

Gonna make your master proud 

It's good to know 

I didn't die for nothing 

December's got me backed into a corner again 

My ears are back 

(I didn't die for nothing) 

My teeth are showing 

I'm combing through the wreckage trying to find where I've been 

I still get battle pains 

I didn't die for nothing
