Lyrics

[Intro] All part and parcel Well, we're already dead Well, it's probably been said That it's always been said that [Chorus] One wing isn't even enough It isn't even enough It isn't even enough to leave One wing isn't even enough It isn't even enough It isn't even enough to leave (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha) [Bridge] I'm gonna shake myself right out the door I'm gonna thank myself when it's finally over I'm gonna let my own bad self take over Gonna move my arm out with my shoulder, and [Chorus] One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough to leave One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough to leave [Chorus] One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough to leave [Verse 1] "First off." Gary was on dry and drunk before we'd left bed As things got bad, it wasn't hard to say that he had no idea Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed That they really didn't want us around So, we all just opened up our mouths and wallets to this town Well, I was walkin' just a little bit sideways And you were walkin' sideways too Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can't be used, here we go, sir [Verse 2] We had docked in dark so we didn't read what the sign read Though simple enough, it was demure and tough "The ground needs to be fed" Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed That they really didn't want us around So, not a single one of us will ever leave town, here we go, sir [Verse 3] Our bodies were laid out evenly for fifteen yards Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed That they really didn't want us around So, every single one of us fed the ground, here we go, now [Bridge] One wing (One wing) wasn't even enough One wing (One wing) wasn't even enough (wasn't even enough) [Outro] All part and parcel Well, it's probably been said That it's always been said We were already dead
