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 discrete

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
