Dead bird, dead bird, dead bird lying in the road
under red moon, under red bone, dead bird lying in the road.
And it happens, it happens, it happens I am told
when you try to live a lie and the trying just dont hold it happens I am told.
So I remember, I remember, I remember you the most
as the one who eased my pain my one true holy ghost I remember you the most.
And bare witness, bare witness, bare witness wont you please?
I'm a faithless son of a bitch prayin on my hands and on my knees bare witness wont you please?
And to glory, to glory, to glory which ive never known
I shall know you in another life another place another time oh glory which I have never known.
And I've married my satisfaction, my satisfaction I suppose
to the hit of my next fix, my next fix so quick it goes my satisfaction it come so it goes.
Dead bird, dead bird, dead bird lying in the road
wont you put my sins on trial would you try to make me whole dead bird lyin in the road.
Because it happens, it happens, it happens before you know
you drink up all your tinctures bought at that traveling medicine show it happens before you know.
So you best remember, remember, remember all of those
who died with empty pockets in the gutters of the fold remember all of those.
So dead bird, dead bird, dead bird, lying in the road
we shall meet again my friend when the next church bell it tones
dead bird lying in the road.
