Steep Air

Song is from The Woods CD/LP, which is available at Subpop Records.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
the water's bloody with the ones who came before
the water's bloody with the ones who came before
hey, she made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it hey, you know you said it a lot
hey, you never stay for, now you gotta pray for,
something better than what you've got

I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
the runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds
the runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds
hey, he made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
hey, you know you said it out loud
hey, you never stay for, now you gotta pray for
something better than what you've got

I booked my ticket
packed my bags
flight is leaving
our time has passed
I'm tired of knocking on a door that just won't budge
locked out of the engine, I'm just a wheel that you have spun
but who's to say I don't have wings
but who's to say I don't have wings
