Broken Beak - Horse Feathers

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
