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
