Steep Air
Sleater-Kinney

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 one who came before
The water’s bloody with the one 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 stayed for, now you’ve 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 me say it, yeah they’ll make you say it
Hey you know you’ve said it outloud
Hey you never stayed for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you’ve got

I booked my ticket
Packed my bag
My flight is leaving
And 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?
