Broken Wings
Sage Francis

(Chorus)

Shes a fairy with broken wings

I used to watch her perform

And if she hears me I hope she sings songs

That had me going right back

Couldn't find anyone in town to talk

About how no one like that

Should be confined to the ground we walk

She glides but just seems like she floats

And these folks decide to crush her wings until they're permanently broke

She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke

She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope

On the eastside hustling discussing things that we quote

In shallow conversations as if we have deep throats

We choke on our confusion

Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats

Trading in our cheap jokes for her C notes

I see notes being passed

I ask to see what these creeps wrote

Define silly kids and flying privileges revoked

Ski slopes have been blocked off they can't chance it

Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely cant skip

Down, she's held down by the transcripts my hands grip

Tried to tie her wings back on before they're once again clipped

Panic stricken, she'll remain stuck

On a titantic sinking, shes trying to stay up

Change her plan thinking it's OK

See this is strange but

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up

I'd like to see

Her take flight into the stars

Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars

Instead of letting 'em fly free they keep 'em in jars

I put my hand to the glass so hard that

It might break the prison bars

It isn't hard to see why they keep her captive

Shes naturally attractive

Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented

Ain't enough adjectives to do her disposition justice

Kids are wishing for just a kiss and its a mission to touch her lips

They can't trust her with

Freedom of movement thats a chance to lose her quick

If she ups and splits

We might as well call that discussion quits

They have ways to keep her down the government's underlings

Enslave people in this town especially if their culture's rich

Exploiting talents making her do a bunch of tricks

With the rest of the wingless imports

Repeatedly told you aint a fairy, you just a bitch

Just a bitch, with a butt thats thick

So rub your tits, and thrust your hips

And suck my dick, and run your shit, and run your shit, and run your shit

(Chorus)

Shes a fairy with broken wings

I used to go watch her perform

And if she hears me I hope she sings songs

That had me going right back

Couldnt find anyone in town to talk

About how no one like that

Should be confined to the ground

(Verse Two)

When I was down in New York she'd send me letters

And I read her passages about how I left her to the savages

No matter how sad that is I didnt cry

Cause it was only a matter of time

Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride

I knew the scoop

Wish you could of seen the blueprints in my eye

When I flew the coop

Utilizing overground railroads in the sky

It was live or die let me let you in on a secret of mine

Me and you are different girl

We dont even need wings to fly
