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.

Are you hurting the one you love?
You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God.
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Are you hurting the one you love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And was it something you could not stop.
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
When you leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.
You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God.
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Are you hurting the one you love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And was it something you could not stop.
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
When you leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.
[Verse 1]
I've been loosing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wondering the streets: for days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
And I believe I believe.
[Chorus]
There's no salvation for me now,
No space amongst the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
[Verse 2]
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets from my heart and from my soul,
Going from road to road,
Bed do bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
But I believe I believe.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lov-er-er-er.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 4]
You got a road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover, (X8)
No salvation for me now, (X4)
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
I've been loosing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wondering the streets: for days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
And I believe I believe.
[Chorus]
There's no salvation for me now,
No space amongst the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
[Verse 2]
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets from my heart and from my soul,
Going from road to road,
Bed do bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
But I believe I believe.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lov-er-er-er.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 4]
You got a road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover, (X8)
No salvation for me now, (X4)
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
