Pink Flamingos Lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones

Pink Flamingos Lyrics

    Dan and I like Las Vegas, never seen the sea
    Where the river, where the river bed runs dry
    She closes his eyes, puts her ear to his shirt
    And listens to the whole wide earth
    Lila's ready, she look in the mirror
    He has stopped, he can't hear her
    She stops in a bar, apparently she is unhurt
    And with a little bit of change, oh feels good
    She washes her wings in the dirt
    And the bar is filled with angels cuz the world is turned upside down
    All of you've been walking on your heads
    Since the day your feet touched the ground
    Any day, any day we'll go home
    Any day, any day we'll go home, home
    Well he knocks on the door, someone show him how
    And I seen them before, I know him somehow
    Why does he stick to my fingers?
    Why does this look like his soul?
    They could just make him a heaven or hell
    What don't they?
    I don't know
    What do they want with these angels?
    Why don't they take them to Reno?
    Nobody ever comes for them
    They're all inside of the casinos
    Look at them poking like flightless birds falling from paper plates
    Oh home, heavenly earthbound
    But the spirit cannot wait to fly like the pink flamingos
    To fly like the pink flamingos, fly, fly ?
