Sleepin` Bird Lyrics

SLEEPIN' BIRD 



He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin'
grey

ridin' the desert for a million miles a day

& there ain't no
barricades anymore

between the mountains & the very floor 



Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

leavin' it all in a shadow of
blood (he was...) 



(chorus)



Never seen, he was

never heard

passin' by like a sleepin' bird 



(2 x)



He took his time, when he shot him through the head

before he
hit the floor the boy was cold & 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



(chorus)



Never seen, he was

never heard

passin' by
like a sleepin' bird 



(2 x)



Dark spot as he quizzed
the neighbourhood

leavin' it all in a shadow of blood



(guitar solo - 16 bars)



Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin'
down

skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round (he was...) 



Chorus - with breaks



Chorus - till fade
