Angel eyes, strike a match and set this city alight 

All of my life I have been pondering the good done 

doing right 



Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Don't go chasing that green back dollar 



There was a time, when I'd sing my songs with a 

mouthful of rain 

Now I'm a cut price criminal 

First goes your heart, there goes the shame 



Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Don't go chasing that green back dollar 



Button up boy, toughen up boy, learn to destroy 

But when all my tears have run dry 

Oh who am I to tell my grief to 



Fight, like a dog, with a big ass bone you'll still be 

a dog 

Kid with a dumbbell ego, shootin' at the neighbours 

For a borrowed God 



Won't you be my mountain bird? 

Forget all you've seen and heard here 

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair 

Spread your wings across my window 

Don't go chasing that green back dollar 



The green back dollar 

Who am I to tell my grief to?
