Bird Song Lyrics & Tabs by Florence + The Machine
Bird Song
guitar chords lyrics
Well I didn't tell anyone
But a bird flew by, saw what I had done
He set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become
He sang so loud, sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbors 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
Stood on it to make him stop
I picked up the bird, and above the din
I said, "that's the last song you'll ever sing"
Held him down, broke his neck
I picked up the bird, and above the din
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
I 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 and I couldn't shout
The song was coming from my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth...
(until end)
