Little Wings Next Time Lyrics

This is a note to the self situation
A microphone test of a dense dictation…
Last time, they tried to fit me in a funny suit
This time, they tried to fill my pocket full of loot
Next time, they’ll start to weep while I’m bailing
Next time, I’ll have to wade through their wailing
Last time, they had to hang me like a poster
This time, they rode me like a roller coaster
Next time, they’ll have to find me if they wanna try
Next time, they’ll have a long time to wonder why
I always turn my head when they walk by
I make-believe my shoelace came untied
Better yet, act like something’s in my eye
Oh, I gotta do what I don’t want to
High as the hates that hunt and haunt you
Pouring the paint you’re pealing, won’t you
Pull a pal away when he’s reeling, don’t you
Look at last time for one minute
I promise I’ll try
Look at this time, will and when it
With a gleaming in my eye
Look at next time, searching’s granted
Full power from the sky
Look at what the light does when we’re in it
So I wonder why I stop to wonder why
Last time, they spread me shallow like the gravel This time, they struck me twice like a gavel
“Order in the Court!” What Court is the question
Give no retort, leave everybody guessing
Last time, they bent me over like a rainbow
This time, they stepped through me like a tango
Next time, I’ll abbreviate it so
They won’t lose their breath every time they say it, oh
I’ll keep a song inside their head in bloom
Feed it sweet light, fertilize it with some tunes
If words are the risk, then music’s the perfume
Oh, sung from the mouth of friend or stranger
A dangerous bird or bird of danger
If you can keep up, well, why won’t you
Songs everywhere so I sing it, don’t you
Look at last time for one minute
I promise I’ll try
Look at this time, will and when it
With a gleaming in my eye
Look at the next time, searching’s granted
Full power from the sky
Look at what the light does when we’re in it
Now I wonder why I stop to wonder why
Last time - last time
This time - this time
Next time - next time
I’ll try - I’ll try - I’ll try - I’ll try - I’ll try
