Feather in Your Panama
words and music by John Allee

Don’t look at me that way
You know what I’m talking about
Sure it’s hard to see through all that pretty
But I can call upon my superpowers somehow
This is not just another jealous rant
Some people can fly off the handle but I can’t
The thing is, I know there’s something you’re not telling me

Maybe you’re a liar
Maybe I’m a sucker
Maybe I’m another feather in your panama
You treat me like a stranger
And I just have to wonder
Am I maybe just another feather in your panama?

You like my money all right
You like me staying up all night
Sure it’s hard to make you happy
But I’m not so sure that’s what you really want
I keep thinking about your past
Yeah I know I said I wouldn’t saddle you with all that
But I guess I’ve had to live with those consequences too

Maybe you’re a liar
Maybe I’m a sucker
Maybe I’m another feather in your panama
You treat me like a stranger
And I just have to wonder
Am I maybe just another feather in your panama?

Maybe you’re a liar
Maybe it’s no wonder
That you see me as another feather in your panama
Maybe you’re a liar
Maybe I’m just lonely
Maybe I am only a feather in your panama

Maybe you’re a cipher
Maybe I was hoping
Maybe you were groping for that feather in your panama
Maybe I am wiser
Maybe I was broken
Maybe I’m a token like those feathers in your panama

Did you get me where you want me?
Will you keep me, will you leave me?
Will you thread me, will you weave me like a feather in your panama?
