(accapella)
Well I didn't tell anyone but a 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, 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 him to make it 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
taught him a lesson he wouldnt 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 I flapped about
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
couldn't scream and couldn't shout
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waved my arms and I 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*

from my mouth
from my mouth

from my mouth (held on)-------------------------------------------->

hope you like it :)
