Dead Birds Lyrics

Something made me go downstairs

Wish I didn't because what I found there

Was a thicket of claws and hair

Didn't need to know she didn't get hurt

My cat's a killer in a cute hair shirt

At least I know that I'm safe from birds

Been sleeping with my shades undrawn

Cause when I fall asleep it don't take long

'Til I think I hear a car alarm

Run to the window and I see I'm wrong

I used to like it when you made me cry

When I slept I slept like a child

Now you're gone, the days are alright, but

The light seems to burn too bright

I took a walk and I took it downtown

The river made such a bloody sound

I couldn't hear myself talking out loud so I

Took a walk and I turned around

I used to like it when you made me cry

When I woke up and looked at the sky

I looked at it with the love of a child and I

Didn't feel the days gone by

When I finally went downstairs

Lord, I didn't find nothing there

Every surface was licked clean bare
