《Flightless Bird, American Mouth》是由Iron & Wine乐队演唱的一首独立民谣歌曲，收录于电影《暮光之城.暮色》以及《暮光之城 破晓 (上)》(wedding demo)作为插曲。Iron & Wine其实是Samuel Beam一个人的乐队，Samuel Beam 美国的田园诗人，独立民谣唱作音乐人。这首《Flightless Bird,American Mouth》是一首忧伤的“美国梦”的挽歌，出自专辑《The Shepherd‘s Dog》，但令这首歌声名鹊起，重焕生机的却是电影《暮光之城》(Twilight)，歌曲被用在了影片结尾舞会一幕，Bella & Edward 踏着这温柔的乐曲，相拥轻舞。
I was a quick wet boy
我是一个贫穷的男人
Diving too deep for coins
为了生活苦苦的追寻
All of your street light eyes
城市冰冷的物质眼神
Wide on my plastic toys
肆无忌惮打量我的天真
And when the cops closed the fair
当世界再无公平二字
I cut my long baby hair
我痛心斩断我的幼稚
Stole me a dog-eared map
唯一的路途也已迷失
And called for you everywhere
到处呼唤你的名字
Have I found you?
我是否找到了你?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
破碎的梦想，充满了妒忌，回荡着哭泣
Or lost you?
还是失去了你?
American mouth
自由的宣言
Big pill looming
都成了泡沫般的回忆
Now I'm a fat house cat
我是一个一无是处的家伙
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
舔着伤口缩回自己的小窝
Watching the warm poison rats
透过与现实的厚厚隔膜
Curl through the wide fence cracks
看着恶心的人一一走过
Pissing on magazine photos
他们搔首弄姿的炫耀自我
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
肮脏的交易如此冰冷清澈
Blood of Christ mountain stream
让善良与仁慈血流成河
Have I found you?
我是否找到了你?
Flightless bird, grounded bleeding
破碎的梦想，渐渐失落，渗着鲜血
Or lost you?
还是失去了你?
American mouth
自由的宣言
Big pill, stuck going down
夸张的承诺，不再执着
