Bird Song

Well I didn't tell anyone

But a bird flew by, and saw what I'd done

It set up a nest outside

And he sang about what I'd become

He sang so loud, he sang so clear

I was afraid all the neighbours would hear

So I invited him in

Just to reason with him

I promised I wouldn't do it again

But he sang louder and louder inside the house

And now I couldn't get him out

So I trapped him under a cardboard box

And stood on it to make him stop

I picked up the bird and above the dim I said

"That's the last song you'll ever sing"

Held him down, broke his neck

Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

But in my dreams began to creep

That old familiar 'tweet tweet tweet'

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

But I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout

The song was coming from my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth
