about

Inspiration? The great Robert Frost and his poem "Departmental".

lyrics

I’m on my way
I’m on my way out
I’m on my way
I’m on my way now

On natty wings, we learn to get by
On natty wings, we take to the sky
The stars are in our eyes
And the days go by

Discount the ways
Discount our ways of knowing (finding)
Discount the ways
Our confidence(s) is growing (binding)

Chorus

On glossy wires artistically bent
He draws himself up to his full extent
On natty wings his self assurance perks
His stinging quarters menacingly work
