In your grass-stained underwear
Dancing crooked circles
Across the golf course green
It must have been 3 A. M.
When we hopped that chain link fence
And ran across the grass
In the pouring rain
Oh and you kept falling down
And rolling on the ground
Like a drunken little bird
Flapping it's broken wings
Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings
Flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
As if pilgrims with axes
Had never seen the devil dancing
In the silent branches
Of thousand year old trees
As they sailed up the wild coast
Leaning from their wooden boats
Shooting every pretty bird
That rose up from the weeds
When the sun began to rise
I could see it in your eyes
And shining on the golf balls
Lying in the grass
And a rusted chain link fence
A golf cart in a ditch
And the colored flags
You pulled from all the holes
Like jewels on your green dress
My lady of the golf course
Running in your underwear
To greet the cops who'd driven up
Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings
Flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
I can still see you there In your grass-stained underwear Dancing crooked circles Across the golf course green It must have been 3 A. M. When we hopped that chain link fence And ran across the grass In the pouring rain Oh and you kept falling down And rolling on the ground Like a drunken little bird Flapping it's broken wings Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings Flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass As if pilgrims with axes Had never seen the devil dancing In the silent branches Of thousand year old trees As they sailed up the wild coast Leaning from their wooden boats Shooting every pretty bird That rose up from the weeds When the sun began to rise I could see it in your eyes And shining on the golf balls Lying in the grass And a rusted chain link fence A golf cart in a ditch And the colored flags You pulled from all the holes Like jewels on your green dress My lady of the golf course Running in your underwear To greet the cops who'd driven up Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings Flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass Explain Request ×
