Black Wings

(Album: A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C) - 2010)

Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
Believing what you leave behind is burnt up and junk debris
And ever last undying soul resides at a hotel in Saint Marie
So fly away on them old wings black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
Shimmering like a Leslie and a Hammond B3
Or a shaking tambourine at a gospel jubilee
So fly away on them old wings black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
Jangling and jingling all the way to Tennessee
Trusting in a Duo Jet and a 9 volt battery
So fly away on them old wings black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
Strumming on a Stella guitar and singing Deportee
Now that ain't much of a repertoire, oh no siree
So fly away on them old wings black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
You'll never gonna reach the sun or the Sunset Marquis
You'll die like a saint on high alongside gamblers and thieves
Fly away on them old wings black as they may be
