Sleepin' Bird Lyrics

He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey
ridin' the desert for a million miles a day
and there ain't no barricades anymore
between the mountains and the very floor
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood
he was...

Never seen, he was
never heard
passin' by like a sleepin' bird
Never seen, he was
never heard
passin' by like a sleepin' bird

He took his time, when he shot him through the head
before he hit the floor the boy was cold and 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

Never seen, he was
never heard
passin' by like a sleepin' bird
Never seen, he was
never heard
passin' by like a sleepin' bird
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin' down
skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round (he was...)

Never seen, he was
never heard
passin' by like a sleepin' bird
