Florence and the Machine - Bird Song lyrics

rate me

Well i didn't tell anyone buta bird flew by,

Saw what I'd done he 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

stood on it to make him stop

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 waved my arms and flapped about

but i couldn't scream and i couldn't shout

bird song was coming from my mouth

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

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

The song was coming from my mouth.
