Stephen Clair - The Small Hours

Fixing to Fly

No teeth
No lips
But she's got them egg-laying hips

No chance
Of a kiss
Romance remains at the top off my list

Cooped up in this roost with all these chicks
And the henhouse ain't a funhouse
When you're fixing to fly but your wings don't get you high

She's quick
She had a hunch
We could wind up somebody's lunch

She says to me
Hey, you feel that breeze?
Spread your wings and fly with me

Here we are on the roof with no-one around
Check out them fools down on the ground
When you're fixing to fly but your wings don't get you high

We're out on the town
Going from roof to roof
No looking down
Going from roof to roof

And the henhouse ain't no funhouse
When you're fixing to fly but your wings don't get you high
