As i commited my crimes in a darkened room
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, 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
Then i put that bird in a cooking pot
Boiled him up and ate the lot
Then i sat in the silence
Thanked the lord for peace
Coughed up a feather and fell asleep
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
Cause the 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.

[Verse 1]
All a lone it was always there anda see,
And even on my own it was always standing seterusnya to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the jalan light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can anda see it coming now?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.
[Verse 2]
All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the jalan light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can anda see it coming now?
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down seterusnya to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the jalan light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.
[Chorus Repeat] (X2)
All a lone it was always there anda see,
And even on my own it was always standing seterusnya to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the jalan light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can anda see it coming now?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.

All a lone even when I was child,
