I wrote this track in honor of the marriage of my two dear friends.
lyrics
Big ole world gonna keep on spinnin'
Stars and stripes gonna keep on clinging
To yesterday’s leftover supper
My body and my soul are getting tougher
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
Machines are running our lives these days
Heartless metal soakin' diesel or sun rays
But the wild side will always win
The soil is pregnant with sprouts and sin
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
Chorus:
I’m going home, to those buildings oh so tall
Way up high
Scrapin’ the sky or scrapin’ together
Everything we ever wanted
Systems crashing and our worlds gonn end
All those banks got no money to lend
Grass is growin' round our industry
And there’s no one here but you and me
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
The birds have taken over the earth now
The sky’s too full of our souls now
Wandering lost from our robot shells
The birds they coo with our wild yells
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
I’m gonna take your wings and fly away
