Fly Away Hero - Hope Morrison
текст песни

I met you in a biker bar in Long View
Just to shag your shit with nothing to lose
So I swaggered up to make my move
Wait for a cue

I’d like to think that it happened all gracefully
I’d make you laugh and take you home with me
But it wasn’t how I’d like it to be

‘Cause then walked in a bald boy with a beer
With a spider tattoo behind his left ear
Sayin’ “Bite away an attempt to swallow your own teeth”
But you know me, yeah

Cause we’re all going ninety to nothing
Looking for someone
Looking for something
Searching for a crutch or a cup to pour us in
Hope Morrison

Now keep in mind
She had a shiner on her left green eye
And her hands were a bit more shaky than mine
I can’t imagine he’s the greatest guy
To this dime

So here I stand with a soda bottle in my hand
Say I’ll protect her
But I know I can’t
But I was raised to be a better man
Than to stand for this

And he got in a few shots to the face
And I got in a few shots to the space around his head
I thought, “I’m dead”
He threw me in an alley, took my keys and drove away as I bled

Cause we’re all going ninety to nothing
Looking for someone
Looking for something
Searching for a crutch or a cup to pour us in
Hope Morrison

And as I lay I see the door open up from the bar
I see a pretty blonde halo like a light in the dark
She passed me up and picked me off of the gravel ground
She said her name is Hope, and she asked me if I could stick around

Cause we’re all going ninety to nothing
Looking for someone
Looking for something
Searching for a crutch or a cup to pour us in
Hope Morrison

And now I’ve slowed to nothing from ninety
I don’t need to wait for my someone to find me
House full of mirrors to a door of sin
Hope Morrison
