Broken Beak
Horse Feathers
Letra

If a bird broke its beak
Would its song be small and weak?
Would it be known as just the same
Or be a bird only in name?

At a loss for words
It's beyond belief
You were known to me then
Like I hear most songs
Well the words they would rhyme
Just move along

Maybe there's a cause that's without effect
Maybe there's some truth that's without a fact
Then you came along, drew some lines
The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time

And I regret
The flames on leaves
Erase the tower in Tennessee
Where we met
I lost my nerve
Tell me why it was now, we'd bear a child
In the cold with the wolves and a rat gone wild

When times were tight watch the dawning twilight
In the shame in between witness the Sun salient scream

Maybe there's a cause that's without effect
Maybe there's some truth that's without a fact
Then you came along, drew some lines
The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time

If a bird broke its beak
Would its song be sad and weak?
Would it be known as just the same
Or be a bird only in name?

Then you came along, drew some lines
The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time
