I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you,
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you? American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you,
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding, or lost you? American mouth
Big pill stuck going down

4. Sam Beam is a great songwriter and performer. His band is Iron and Wine.

I got to know Sam when he lived in S Florida.

The band does the acoustic stuff as well as plugging in to rock loud and hard.

They have a bunch of great albums out. Google finds them.

Youtube and Myspace have lots of material online also.
