I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And 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 bill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you? Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, stuck going down
the lyrics may not make sense initially but u need to read between the lines. it's about this boy who initially got in a relationship with this girl over lust, broke up, then realised he had actually loved her. tried to get her back though she had already changed into a typical american (before that she was unique) and other guys were all over her.so it's either he had found her, or lost her. the song's just about true love.
