Artist/Band: The Shins
Lyrics for Song: Girl On The Wing
Lyrics for Album: Oh, Inverted World [2001]



one wound up punch of intuition

lays flat my whole take on us

you're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer

the tidal rabbit who came of age before her time



we could have been so good-natured

if I'd relented when you insisted

but we've been backed against

all nature's walls far too long



you felt abandoned by me

i recall the sunshine as you were melting

and though the comedy softens the fall

they still hear us with their ears to the wall



i sold all my evil motives

no icicles stuck in my hide

i'm through with riddles, i know we're little

just help me feel warm inside



before we take this ride and let it slide

into the cracks where fall and winter collide

i surrender all my gall in a song of modern love

remember you're the one who summoned me above

any other kind (any other kind)



we could have been so good-natured

if you'd relented when I'd insisted

we take a week off, let the garden grow by itself

and let the gluttons fill themselves

with all the worst of the gory nineties

and though the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short



before we take this ride and let it slide

into the cracks where fall and winter collide

i surrender all my gall in a song of modern love

remember you're the one who summoned me

above any other kind
