Water Wings - Superchunk

In the crowd

The crowd spreads out

Takes out its glasses

And you’d swear

Pulls out arrows from God knows where

The fires in full

They form a net

They drain their cups

And wait expectantly for their hero to blow up

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Said that’s what happens when you’re learning to fly

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Said that’s what happens when you’re learning to fly

She said those wings are just a disguise

And you cannot make me cry

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Yeah that’s what happens

Was it worth the wait

Is that the wall where you marked off the date

With the wings

Made of wax

Made of water

He was too dumb to accept the offer

He was too smart

Step on into the leather

Fire it up

Pull out the feathers, one by one

As he got closer to the sun

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Said that’s what happens when you’re learning to fly

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Said that’s what happens when you’re learning to fly

She said those wings are just a disguise

And you cannot make me cry

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

Yeah that’s what happens

She pointed at the black cloud in the sky

She said with you it is no use

Why do you try
