Grant Lee Buffalo Mockingbirds lyrics

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 toed 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 toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I toed 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 toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
