Suzanne Vega – Ironbound/Fancy Poultry Lyrics 6 years ago
@[kyrasdad:31116] this is also how I interpret it. I also imagine that she is possibly caught up in drugs, hence "wings are nearly free" - she gets to escape for a bit, but they're not really free are they? This song speaks to womens' (mothers') powerlessness and vulnerability.
