Golden Bird

I was only holding out for another chance
Running faster than my feet could take me, clear to the city's edge
Told everybody that my mind was changing
How I never saw the story's end
Down by the water, we were smoking by the old motel

Is there another cure?
A magic golden bird?
Giving what your soul has earned?
Oh, how I'd love to float upon it

I found somebody that would give me comfort when I felt estranged
I plant my poison in the flower garden
Hoping that my roots won't take
But every time that the seasons changing
When the clouds put on a coat of grey
I can feel it creeping over, holin' up inside my brain

Is there another cure?
A magic golden bird?
Giving what your soul has earned?
Oh, how I'd love to float upon it

Is there a secret blowin' that you heard?
That gets you to the other world?
High above the summit, but your eyes ain't sure
How to adjust upon it
