One Set of Wings Songtext
von The Wallflowers

It doesn′t have to be pretty
It doesn't have to move the crowd
In no particular city
Just a clearing with little else around
It doesn′t have to look steady
Don't really care on which side of town
I've been rocked and now I′m ready
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

It′s more a holdout than a bust
Head to your knees and soldier up
It's too little and too much at once
I don′t think they're water landing us
And one set of wings just will not be enough


It shouldn′t have to be a scandal
It's not a missile you′re trying to stop
I have been shook had more than a few shots
Been hooked longer than not
Don't be secret to me now
Are you roses or burial ground
I have been lost and I'm ready to be found
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

It′s more a holdout than a bust
Head to your knees and soldier up
It′s too little and too much at once
I don't think they′re water landing us
And one set of wings just will not be enough

From where you are it must seem crazy
This weaving in and out of clouds
It's not an airstrike believe me
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

It′s a more a holdout than a bust
Head to your knees and soldier up
It's too little and too much at once
I don′t think they're water landing us
And one set of wings just will not be enough
