Wings of Excelsior

from The Milk by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

Before he goes to work/ be sure to fasten his wings
They button to the back of his coat/ wings of excelsior
Make sure he's always right/ no matter what the scientists mights say
What do they know/ of course he's right/
He's got his wings/
What more does he need/
He's got his wings and his chart

When people move their hands
While fast asleep or making points/ to reach something and clutch it in
Becomes the strongest gesture of a person's Who I Am
To have it sings your blood and bones a Christmas Song
It cuts your childish fear a slice of cake
It decorates your lake with yellow moons.
