Violent Femmes - Flamingo Baby текст песни

Youre a flamingo

You stand on one leg

Youre a flamingo baby

You hatched from an egg

Well you hold your foot up

So delicately over the sea

And when it comes down

It comes down on me

Well it used to want to hump you

I used to want to rock and roll

I was attracted to your gracefulness

But your surprise sure took its toll

Now I guess Id better go out now

Gonna try to find something new

And all Im left with is this craving

For some flamingo stew

Now the beautys in the gutter

The loveliness is off her throne

In the eyes of the beholder its gone

And now he feels kind of alone

But this feeling its the kind that will shortly pass

Im gonna find myself another bird

And roll on down the grass

Gordon gano: vocal, acoustic guitar, slide solo
