Identical Things

from Attila! by Short Hand

lyrics

Today, yea, there is east and there is West
Today yea, a television set
An antenna bent, sits where the sun sets

Today yea, today is dry before it's wet, yes,
Today yea, isn't over yet
You can bet on it, or better yet, just get set

I've got ears and gears, teeth and spit
A nose, a neck, a chest and lips,
A mind to win and a mind to lose
I hope my mind gets a mind to choose.

Today yea, you choose you choose you choose
You open your eyes and you move and you move

Solo

I got bones and guts, tails and cuts
Birds on fire, and telephone wires
Wheels on streets, ways and means
My feet and wings are identical things

Today yea, identical things
When you flap your feet, you flap your wings

Skin and veins, spine and legs
Arms and wrists, shoulders square
Knees and toes, two elbows
A waist, some hair, your basic nose

Today yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah
Always yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
