Dead Bird Lyrics

Dead bird on the kitchen floor

You look half asleep

Cat can't wake you

Not even a peep

Hope you told your mother

That you're doing fine

So she won't come looking for you

Anytime…soon

Dead bird in the engine

Brought down the plane

You lost your future

But you won the game

Plane in the river

Looks like a duck

Looks like we're all running

Out of luck…soon

Black bird, blue bird

Where did you go?

Red bird, green bird

Where's your home?

Your nests in winter

Look like graves

When will you come back

To save us…soon?

Birds in the bushes

Flushed out by dogs

And bad men with rifles

Who mean you harm

Fat politicians

Who shoot their friends

They think their old world

Will never end…soon

Man dressed in feathers

Flew toward the sun

Fell in the ocean

Man, he was dumb

His story teaches

The limits of man

Dead bird you should listen

You'll understand…soon
