Mockingbird Girl Lyrics
She she flies without no feathers
A fool to try and catch her
Well I don't know cause I don't know
I'm a fool
Yeah a visionary's daughter
She don't care that you want on her
She'll kill you once, you won't mind
You'll ask her twice
(CHORUS)
Hey, hey rocket boy
Gotta lotta life behind you
Hey, hey mockingbird girl
Gotta fly don't let him hold you
You were born a lucid flower
A tulip and I killed her
I was born to play the fool
Unlike you
No sex, I'm bored with anticipation
This love song radio station
I guess you'll sleep
I'll count sheep
And watch you dream
So let's make a run and buy a rocket copter
I bought it from a crooked copper,
Her breath it smelled like beer
A warm beer
A warm beer
(CHORUS) (x2)
Hey hey mockingbird girl
Gotta fly don't let him hold you down
A fool to try and catch her
Well I don't know cause I don't know
I'm a fool
Yeah a visionary's daughter
She don't care that you want on her
She'll kill you once, you won't mind
You'll ask her twice
Hey, hey rocket boy
Gotta lotta life behind you
Hey, hey mockingbird girl
Gotta fly don't let him hold you
A tulip and I killed her
I was born to play the fool
Unlike you
No sex, I'm bored with anticipation
This love song radio station
I guess you'll sleep
I'll count sheep
And watch you dream
I bought it from a crooked copper,
Her breath it smelled like beer
A warm beer
A warm beer
Gotta fly don't let him hold you down

Ya know? Weiland's lyrics on this ENTIRE album are vague as hell...
I can't explain the chorus part, but in the verses it seems to detail (something along the lines of) a guy who is totally completely obsessed with a girl ("she flies without no feathers." Angel?)
and he knows there's no point in pursuing her ("a fool to try and catch her.").
And how he'd do anything for her ("She'll kill you once, you won't mind...You'll ask for twice.")
The 2nd verse sounds like he'd rather just lie with her and watch her sleep than have sex with her (No sex...I'm bored with anticipation) and than ("I guess you'll sleep, I'll count shepp. And watch your dream)
...There's my interpretation anyway.
That sounds like a good interpretation. I always thought it was you got to find a man and have him hold you down. show me a reason tell me a lie it's a sin because of your reply. I think the girl is a user.
