Herman Brood - Sleepin' Bird lyrics

rate me

<b>Sleepin' Bird</b> by <i>Herman Brood</i><br />He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey

Ridin' the desert for a million miles a day

And there ain't no barricades anymore

Between the mountains and the very floor

Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

Leavin' it all in a shadow of blood, he was

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

He took his time when he shot him through the head

Before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead

One day someone is gonna plead against your name

He won't mark if you win or lose, how you play the game

One day someone is gonna plead against your style

So uptight, he just can't take away your smile, he was

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

Leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

Heartbeat's fadin', pressure's goin' down

Skin gets red

Eyes start poppin' 'round

Never seen, never heard (Never heard)

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird (Passin' by)

Never seen, never heard (He was)

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

Never seen, he was never heard
