Mockingbirds by Grant Lee Buffalo

Devastation at last finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
And i have been overthrown
Overthrown

And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself i nearly forgot
Now i am overwrought
I'm overwrought

And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

One day this ground will break
And open up for me i hope it will i hope it will

Salutations at last down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille
Woke from a dream where i was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze i was chained to the helm
And now i am overwhelmed
I'm overwhelmed

And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
