The Flamingo (radio edit) [feat. Emilie Nicolas]
See the pink color run off in flight
As the flamingo flies into the night
A flock of birds get new recruits
To replace those
To replace those that die én route
The sky is lit up from miles away
From a city sinking, into the bay
I hear the flamingo beat its wings
It smacks that bass right in my face
The mighty male is fluorescent pink
Like a Florida diners' men's room sink
A car pulls up with it's headlights on
The swamp grow still for a second way too long
A shot rings out a scream is heard
And a shadow is cast by a fleeting bird
The sweet smell of rubber
Is all that's left
A bullet tore through a man's pink chest
And I guess there's a story that might unfold
I'm the girl that came back for gold
And down in the marsh off A1A
A thousand birds have flown today
And in the light of the dimming sun
They flew behind the chosen one
Like a ship on a reef with a broken keel
A man falls off the spinning wheel
See the pink color run off in flight
As the flamingo flies into the night
A flock of birds get new recruits
To replace those
To replace those that die én route
The sky is lit up from miles away
From a city sinking, into the bay
As the flamingo flies into the night
A flock of birds get new recruits
To replace those
To replace those that die én route
The sky is lit up from miles away
From a city sinking, into the bay
I hear the flamingo beat its wings
It smacks that bass right in my face
The mighty male is fluorescent pink
Like a Florida diners' men's room sink
A car pulls up with it's headlights on
The swamp grow still for a second way too long
A shot rings out a scream is heard
And a shadow is cast by a fleeting bird
The sweet smell of rubber
Is all that's left
A bullet tore through a man's pink chest
And I guess there's a story that might unfold
I'm the girl that came back for gold
And down in the marsh off A1A
A thousand birds have flown today
And in the light of the dimming sun
They flew behind the chosen one
Like a ship on a reef with a broken keel
A man falls off the spinning wheel
See the pink color run off in flight
As the flamingo flies into the night
A flock of birds get new recruits
To replace those
To replace those that die én route
The sky is lit up from miles away
From a city sinking, into the bay
