Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you hear?
The clink of morning cheers
Orange juice concentrate
Crossword puzzles start to grade
One across
Four letter word, it's just not sitting

Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you see?
A picture perfect scene
Two toned lawns are manicured
The gardens wearing haute couture

It's hiding something
It's trying too hard
Hiding something
It's trying too hard

Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where are they now?
Day time TV lounge
A carriage clock, a mantle piece
A family wiped up, j cloth cleaned
Unsaid, festers in the throws of the sofa

Little bird, little bird, little bird
How are you feeling?
Like helping quarantine
Pearly whites, touch down smile
Haps and creases round the eyes

Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen

Little bird, little bird, little bird
What can we do?
A think tank think rescue
Simon says, etch a sketch
Send a golden message only he would get
Quickly now
'Cause this is not how it ends

Little bird, little bird, little bird
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've got one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
Well I've just one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest

One more question
I'll let it rest
I swear I'll let it rest
Got one more question
(And I swear I'll let it rest)
I've got one more question

Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where have you gone?

    After I listened to this song a bunch of times in a row, because it's so beatiful, it started to remind me of this one time last year when my friend showed me this thing... it was a computer model of a musical instrument that was a combination of a bunch of different instruments and it played itself with little clockwork hands, with a little haunting melody. It was in a cluttered room and behind it there was a balcony that looked out onto a starry dark sky. We both agreed that it was really cool, but there was something inexplicably ominous about it too. I know this is strange, but that's the feeling this song gives me. It seems innocent at first listen, but then the intricate harmonies jump out at you with a strangely beautiful unsettlingness...
