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
