Gather Up Your Wings and Fly
I was heading north on a plane that was heading south
Whysky in my pocket cigarette was in my mouth
"A vision" on my knee but I wasn't reading much
Gather up your wings and fly now
You can take them to the sky
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your loins
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
Downtown vegas that's the place of your dreams
Downtown London that's not tour scene
Step inside and take the weight off your tiny feet
You curled up in the corner you're looking so discret
And when you turned your face caught
the light and oh you looked so sweet
Don't I always get my own way
Have you anything to say
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your loins
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
What's the betting that you'll plead insanity
It won't be long now while we're shaking your apple tree
After seven days of fasting you said you'd seen the lord
You travelled back four centuries in search of a silver sword
Your self-induced hallucinations they just make me bored
Gather up your wings and fly now
You can take them to the sky
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your lions
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
Donwtown vegas that's the place of your dreams
Downtown London that's not your scene
Shake your apple tree now
Whysky in my pocket cigarette was in my mouth
"A vision" on my knee but I wasn't reading much
Gather up your wings and fly now
You can take them to the sky
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your loins
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
Downtown vegas that's the place of your dreams
Downtown London that's not tour scene
Step inside and take the weight off your tiny feet
You curled up in the corner you're looking so discret
And when you turned your face caught
the light and oh you looked so sweet
Don't I always get my own way
Have you anything to say
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your loins
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
What's the betting that you'll plead insanity
It won't be long now while we're shaking your apple tree
After seven days of fasting you said you'd seen the lord
You travelled back four centuries in search of a silver sword
Your self-induced hallucinations they just make me bored
Gather up your wings and fly now
You can take them to the sky
What's the betting that you'll be
letting his hands dip into your lions
While all I'll be getting is a new
sun setting on the downtown vegas morn
Donwtown vegas that's the place of your dreams
Downtown London that's not your scene
Shake your apple tree now
